About Carla
Your story doesn't end here. You are more than your experiences. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal, and it is my goal to help you find your way back to wellness. Let's start the next chapter together. My therapy approach is that of "Mind, Body, Soul" and believe that all three will influence someone's quality of life. Whether it be someone needing psychotherapy to address past traumatic events or someone who is holding their trauma in their body, everything revolves around alignment. I offer a variety of modalities that address the whole person, not just their mental needs.
I offer EMDR for both adults and children both in person and virtually, Play Therapy (in person), and available for BOTH in-person and virtual, Somatic Experiencing, Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises, and Ketamine Assisted Therapy. For those in Dallas, TX, I will be starting a 90 min. biweekly T.R.E. and "Chakra of the Month" Sound Bath group class.
Winding Path Solutions came to me when I was hiking Mt. Rainer. As I was walking and not paying attention, I kept tripping on rocks and tree roots and stumbling on the path. Things like anxiety, depression, loneliness are all those rocks and roots. They make the path more complicated and trickier, but isn't it a great feeling when you've completed the path?

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I experienced death as an adolescent and my experience with therapy was not the best. I remember leaving a session exhausted and feeling like no one understood me. It was then that I said I wanted to be a therapist and make the people I saw felt seen and heard. I wanted to help in whatever capacity I could for them, because I felt as if no one was wanting to help me in my struggle. That is what has motivated me to learn several modalities, so that I wouldn't ever have to say "I can't help you" to someone. My desire to help others through their mental health struggles as my life dream since a child and I am proud to say that I have been successful in my goal. I would love to help you through what you are experiencing right now.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I would tell them to start slow. Never let anyone make you feel rushed or become impatient with you. To allow someone into your heart and mind is a gift, and not everyone deserves that present. Therapy is hard for a lot of people and your relationship with your therapist has to be positive and validating. If it's not, then it's time to find a new therapist that does make you feel like you're making progress, even when you tell yourself you are not.
