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.
