ABOUT ME

Hi. I'm Carla (they/she).  I am a Social Worker Psychotherapist and a Mental Health and Addictions Consultant.  Though my practice prioritizes LGBTQ folks I enjoy working with clients of all identities and social locations.

​

SERVICES:

​

  • PSYCHOTHERAPY 

My psychotherapy practice leans heavily on the ethics of anti-oppression and centres individual struggles against larger systemic barriers.  I have a passion for working with the body and nervous system in addition to our thoughts, feelings and emotions.  My primary therapeutic modalities are: Narrative Therapy, Somatic Experiencing (in training), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Sex Therapy.


In addition to my work with individuals I also see couples around issues of attachment, sexuality and communication.  My services are kink and poly informed and affirmative.

​

  • MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS CONSULTATIONS

In addition to my psychotherapy practice I have worked in community-based mental health endeavours for over 10 years and across 3 provinces.  Harm reduction and overdose prevention is my other passion and I provide trauma- informed mental health and addictions related consultations to government and community-based service providers as well as individuals.
