Great to meet you!

Hello. My name is Carmela. I have been described as a people's person, who brings new energy and optimism to every session. I can appreciate honesty and respect each person's choices. I love learning to enhance my ability to meet people where they are. Life brings uncertainties. I want to offer you the opportunity to have someone working with you as you navigate obstacles and develop skills that will empower you to keep going. The goal is to help you live life on your terms with peace of mind that you are able to handle what life throws your way.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Allow me to use a person-centered approach that will complement a variety of therapeutic approaches, designed specifically for you.

What you can expect from our first session

At the end of each session, we can look forward to reflecting on things that bothered you and may have felt insurmountable, however leaving feeling heard and validated. There are always opportunities, with every waking day.
