Overwhelmed with parenting? Is your child struggling and needing support? Are you stressed out? Anxious? Trying to manage chronic pain/illness and not really participating in life? My name is Carla and I am here to listen, understand, and partner with you to create change. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), as well as a former teacher and school counsellor.
My areas of interest include chronic pain, anxiety and overwhelm, parenting, relationships, stress management, and supporting children, teens, and adults through their struggles. My daughter and I both live with chronic pain. We have had a difficult journey but have found effective strategies to help us live well.
I know how overwhelming life can be and how lonely it can feel when you are trying to hold it together. Please get in touch. Together we can help you clarify, prioritize, and make progress towards enjoying life again.
