Hey, Iām Carly.
I believe therapy should feel powerful.
Helping you heal from trauma, grief,
depression, disturbed sleep, & irritability.
Iām glad youāve landed here. I know how much it takes.
Finding a good therapist who actually āgets itā is so important. Iāve been there, and Iām ready to help you through the hard stuff. Imagine what you could do with confidence, clarity, and connection.
Even though Iāve been a therapist for years, I still get visibly annoyed when I lose at anything (cards, soccer, bingo..). Iāve been a vegetarian for ethical reasons since age 13 and love to bake cookies without recipes to āchallengeā myself. I forget where I parked my car when I leave the grocery store but Iāll remember the name of your great aunt from your 4th bday party who got upset when you didnāt kiss her cheek. I wonāt hold back a āwtfā face if called for and advocate fiercely for the decolonization of mental health.
I also know the chaos, sadness, and pain of traumatic grief because Iāve been there.
Deep in the loss, the hurt, and the beauty on the other side.
I help disconnected adults who feel out of control with their own emotions.
They want to trust themselves and feel confident with their decisions, big and small.
Having had my own experience with this (different than yours, of course!), I know how it feels to move through terror and grieve. I recognize PTSD as a public health crisis that deserves real solutions. Iām an advocate of healthcare for all and using psychedelics to help people heal holistically.
Before my therapy career, I worked in public health running programs for refugees, unhoused folks, veterans, first responders, and survivors of rape.
Outside of work, I love jumping into ice-cold alpine lakes in Colorado, aprendiendo EspaƱol, playing competitive adult soccer, and watching terrible but hilarious comedy TV like Itās Always Sunny and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I am anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-xenophobic, and care deeply about using my privileged position for good. If you are a privileged adult exploring your identity, Iād be honored to help through individual therapy. If you are a person of color, queer, trans, an immigrant, or otherwise have a marginalized identity, I'd be honored to help, and happy to provide referrals to therapists who share your identities.
