ABOUT
The lotus flower represents that even in darkness, beauty can grow with light, warmth, patience, and time.
Welcome! I'm Carly.
As a seasoned therapist devoted to nurturing your therapeutic process of self-discovery and healing, I believe that everyone has potential for growth and transformation and that there is hope for all of us.
Above all, I believe in being a human first, and my compassion and curiosity for every person – their struggles, strengths, and stories – drives my commitment and life’s work to support others.
I am passionate about supporting adults grappling with the impact of various life situations, such as childhood emotional injury, relational wounding, parenthood and work challenges, relationship dynamics, grief, anxiety, depression, loss of purpose, and life transitions.
I am here to accompany you as you navigate these life challenges, offering a space where you can explore your inner experiences that are welcomed and related to with kindness and understanding.
A Therapy Approach that Resonates with You
Therapeutic Foundation
My primary modality as a therapist is Internal Family Systems, a holistic method with the intention of cultivating harmony and understanding within yourself.
Beyond Talk Therapy
I go beyond traditional ‘talk therapy’ by incorporating body-based techniques. This means tuning into the wisdom of your body, that go beyond familiar stories and getting to know and be-friend your inner body.
Understanding Experiences
Holistic Growth
For me, therapy transcends just healing; it’s a journey back to your authentic Self, a pathway to personal growth, and a commitment to living authentically. This perspective extends beyond the notion of perpetual healing as an end destination, but rather emphasizes that healing and living in connection to your deepest Self is a life choice.
Practical Strategies
Throughout this process, you’ll learn practical strategies to connect with yourself and cultivate meaningful relationships.
A Journey Shared
In my therapy approach, I consider myself a companion and confidant on this journey of life. I am a fellow traveler, embracing the universal practice of healing as a lifestyle and choice we make to be our most authentic Self. Acknowledging that, like everyone else, I’m on my personal and ongoing journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. This shared perspective, I believe, makes my therapy approach practical, relatable, and humanistic.
Mind, Body & Heart Therapy (MBHT)
As a Mind, Body & Heart Therapy (MBHT) practitioner, I embrace a philosophy beyond traditional ‘talk therapy.’ In this approach, our feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations become gateways to healing, greatly influenced by the intricate relationship between mind, body, and heart.
How Does MBHT Work?
- Holistic Healing - MBHT views emotional wounds, trauma, or stress as interconnected factors that can manifest as anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. It sees these symptoms not in isolation but as integral aspects of our overall well-being.
- Embracing Interconnectedness - The therapy method acknowledges the intricate interconnectedness of different parts within ourselves. By addressing these parts, MBHT brings forth genuine healing, making it not just a possibility but a tangible reality.
