I have always been fascinated by how people work. As a child I loved learning about how the body works. As I got older my focus shifted to how minds work and how people function in this world. My education centered around mental health how to help people with their problems. I have an MS in Life Span Development and an Med in Counselor Education, both from Purdue University and am now a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio.
My 30+ year career has found me working with people with anxiety and depression issues, as well as the incredible stresses due to life circumstances. I have been able to help clients who have found themselves with personality or impulse control issues. I enjoy gardening, traveling and learning new things. I am an optimist. My general way of relating to people is one of listing intently enough to be able to see things from their point of view, and to show respect, warmth, and humor.
I believe that establishing a strong, supportive relationship is of utmost importance in therapy. Respect and honesty are essential for effective therapy. Together we can solve problems and improve bad situations. I tend to favor Cognitive Behavioral approaches in therapy, but am quite capable of adjusting my therapeutic process to the method best suited for the problems at hand.

Carla is a very good therapist. She listens to me and urges me to push myself out of my comfort zone. She holds me accountable for things I say I am going to do. She sends helpful worksheets/assignments to help push myself. She is timely and professional, I enjoy her services!

Carla is a wonderful and insightful therapist. She is a good listener and makes me feel heard. Carla has been helping me process what I’ve been feeling, even if I don’t quite have the words to express it. I can repeat the same things in each session, and she is so graceful and patient with me. She has given me homework, and I really appreciate that because I feel like I’m making progress. I highly recommend her if you’re considering therapy. I was so scared to start therapy, and she’s the first therapist I’ve ever had. I truly feel like I lucked out and found someone I clicked with immediately! She is very good at what she does.

I have been in therapy since I was 13yo, and I’ll be 48yo in August. I have received wonderful advice and guidance from Carla!! I love love love this app!! It’s so much easier to use the app for journaling, or even when I am really struggling with my mental health, I have tried a couple of group airs but I get so much more from the articles on the app and I am truly excited about this new process and I feel confident that my mental health is very very much for the better at this point in my entire life! And I am so grateful for the discount program that allows me to afford it all!! Thank You for creating this platform to help me and keep me in a safe, positive, and healthy way to improve myself each day, with my ability to change my past programming in my mind to a much more effective ways of learning more and more about myself and my mental illnesses. She is so wonderful to talk to about anything!!
