Carla is absolutely fantastic. I feel an improvement in my well being knowing I have her to reach out to.
She is very professional and has made me look at things in ways that have been so useful. I have recommended two friends to better help after my experience.
Thank you Carla

Carla is a caring soul and does a great job both empathizing but helping her client understand limits, boundaries, and areas of growth in a gentle way. I'm grateful to have been working with her these past few months.
