Her goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and values at their own pace.

Sessions with Carly are client-led. The client sets the pace and direction, and she focuses on holding space for them in whatever way they need in that moment, whether that means listening, reflecting, sitting with difficult emotions, or helping bring clarity to confusing experiences. Carly will gently challenge clients to think outside the box, explore new perspectives, or consider patterns that may be keeping them stuck, always with care and respect for their readiness.

She is actively building her clinical knowledge and skills in grief counseling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she enjoys integrating evidence-based approaches while remaining flexible to each client’s unique needs.
