Carla offers remote sessions that reflect a trauma informed perspective and a strength based orientation. The trauma informed stance means she attends to past experiences and current triggers while pacing work to match what feels manageable. The strength based orientation focuses on identifying existing abilities and resources, then shaping goals that build on those assets.
She also practices in a culturally responsive, affirming manner, which involves recognizing a personâs background and values when exploring challenges such as addiction, family conflict, career changes, or parenting stress. Work together typically involves collaborative goal setting, examining patterns in relationships and behavior, and experimenting with practical strategies tailored to each personâs situation.
