Get to Know Carly:

​

Why did you become a mental health professional?
I spent my early adulthood traveling the world: from Cuba to Cambodia, Ecuador to the United Kingdom and saw pain and despair everywhere. I worked different avenues: supporting women in red light districts, children living in garbage dumps, and so many other awful situations, trying to help ease people’s pain in any way I could. Eventually, I returned to school to pursue an education in social work. I realized I could not save the world...I couldn’t even save one person – but I could provide a safe and nurturing environment, for hurting individuals, to save themselves. 

What are your interests outside of work?

When my child or husband isn’t after my full attention, I love a hot cup of coffee and an engrossing book. I enjoy making beaded earrings, researching psychedelic medicine, astrology, and fun times with friends. I love a good, hard laugh.
