About Carla
Often people come to therapy seeking to get more out of life: greater self-awareness, more confidence, better relationships. If you would like to feel more alive and more deeply connected to your loved ones, therapy is a good place to start.
I offer therapy for couples and individuals. Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) forms the foundation of my work with couples, while my approach to individual therapy is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Gestalt Therapy. In our sessions, we will stay focused on the present moment, and work together to harness the transformative powers of emotion and human connection.
Services
Individual therapy
Early in life, people develop strategies which help us adjust to our environment. These patterns can hinder our ability to connect with others and with ourselves.
Our work together provides an opportunity for you to step outside of your normal routine and explore the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that get in the way of your natural impulse toward well-being.
Couples therapy
Connection with others is a fundamental human survival strategy. When our important relationships feel threatened, we experience powerful, even overwhelming emotions. These emotions can drive behaviors and patterns that actually interfere with closeness and relationship security.
Couples therapy offers the chance to slow down and explore the patterns that create distance or fighting (or both!). In our sessions, we will work together to develop strategies to stop these patterns from taking over your relationship, and to help you reconnect as a couple.
