With over a decade of experience in mental health care, Carla offers a comprehensive and nuanced approach to therapy for teens, adults, and families. Her expertise lies in treating complex trauma, guiding neurodivergent individuals in a neurotypical world, and helping couples, families, and individuals move through life’s challenges with resilience and connection. Combining evidence-based interventions with deep empathy and curiosity, Carla helps clients uncover patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and grounded.

Carla's work is rooted in understanding early experiences and attachment, helping clients untangle patterns that no longer serve them and find healing through self-compassion and body awareness.

Her career began in a residential facility for children in the foster care system, where she worked with teenage girls with extensive trauma histories and learned to navigate high-conflict situations with calm and confidence. Since then, she has supported teens, parents, emerging adults, and couples as a case manager, supervisor, and therapist, focusing on relational healing, attachment, and crisis intervention.

With expertise in complex trauma and high-conflict resolution, Carla utilizes trauma-informed practices, as well as emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT), helping couples heal deep relational wounds and build lasting connection.

Clients are not alone in their journey, and Carla is dedicated to walking alongside them.

She offers telehealth and in-person appointments at the Fort View office, with availability Monday through Friday, including evening hours. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and begin creating the life and relationships you’re seeking.
