I specialize in OCD because I’m drawn to helping people who feel trapped by their thoughts and fears. Many who struggle with OCD suffer quietly, unsure if anyone will understand. That isolation resonates with my own experience of not having support when I needed it. My goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and free to explore your healing without fear of judgment. There’s nothing more meaningful to me than seeing people realize their own strength. In addition to treating OCD, I work with individuals experiencing PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Why our members love working with Carla
N.M.
Angela M. is a talented therapist and brings 100% to every session. I made great progress with her. She helped me understand how to get unstuck when treating my OCD.

Carla is amazing. She has helped my 7 year old so much. At first I was very hesitant if therapy would work because it's online and my child does not open up easily, but Carla allowed her to do things on her own timeline. It took about a month or maybe even longer for my daughter to finally open up, but Carla never rushed her and gained her trust. One day my daughter told me that she didnt want me to sit in on the therapy and that day I cried because I realized Carla had finally done it she broke down my daughter's walls and from then on I have seen therapy work its magic. I am forever indebted to Carla.

At my last session I had been highly triggered the day before and Carla was so supportive and made sure I knew it was just a bump in the road. She got me back on a positive path again.
