Navigate Trauma and Mental Illness as a Christian

Live an abundant life by dealing with your trauma and rooting your identity in Christ.

Your mental health and trauma don’t define you

Do you wanna live a life where trauma no longer has a hold on you? I don’t believe life will ever be perfect and without blemish, but God can (and will) work all things out for good. God’s strength shows up in our weakness. And you ARE made with a purpose. My goal is to help you discover and walk in that purpose. When you blend practical tools with Biblical wisdom, the life you long for is within reach.

Helping You Grow and Thrive

I often remind people that while trauma or illness may not be your fault, your healing is your responsibility. Trauma can be a liar that tries to define you, but only the one who created you has the authority to truly define who you are. I've had to deal with childhood trauma and living with bipolar and borderline personality disorders. But I've figured out how to master it and not let it run my life. My marriage and relationship with my son have gone from tough to amazing, and I'm all in on the work I feel God wants me to do. I’m here to help you reclaim your identity and live out the life you’re meant to lead.

testimonials

“I have been working closely with Carla for six months, and I can say that there are many things that have been very beneficial to me.

Being able to schedule our sessions on my timetable has been extremely helpful. Her ability to incorporate physical healing somatic practices with spiritual practices has been extremely helpful. Also, being able to talk with her openly, knowing that she is a Christian and yet never feeling 1 ounce of judgment has been extremely helpful also. I think the best part of the coaching program she has set up is the Voxer support, having access to Carla in the moment or close to it, when I am having struggles is very helpful. She can let me know what to do in the moment instead of two weeks later at an appointment. It helps me to feel less alone, it reminds me of what tools might help me in those moments, and it allows me to know that there is someone cheering me on in the moment.”
“The fact that Carla has gone through her own healing journey and mental health struggles and is very open about it, is extremely helpful to me

because I know she is not only educated in this area, but she knows firsthand what it feels like and what it takes to overcome it. Her support is worth every penny I spend on it each month, and I appreciate her more than she may know. Even now, when I have made significant progress, I still have stumbles, and she is still there on Voxer helping me through them.”
“In the last few months I have come so far on my journey doing this deep inner work with Carla as my coach.

She helps identify target areas, internal patterns/ beliefs giving impactful insight and direction . I truly don't know what I would have done without her daily support through voxer over this time period.”
“I am indeed grateful and would highly recommend this therapy to anyone truly looking to do the work,

to hold themself accountable, and to begin a new life of gratitude, awareness & abundance.”
“I first heard about you through a podcast. I was searching for healing, and I knew once I heard you speak, the Lord would use your gifts to help me heal.

It started with the Who You Say I Am affirmation cards. These are wonderful reminders of Who I Am and I use them daily. That was just the start of my journey. First I want to say, THANK YOU, for listening without judgment. Thank you for being a safe place to confide the wounds I thought were too deep to ever heal. The guidance, and skills you have taught me are priceless. I have learned how to change my thoughts and take them captive. I use these techniques in every area of my life. I am empowered and confident in my ability to continue to grow and heal. I'm grateful to you for sharing the path to healing and encouraging me along the way. I treasure our friendship in Christ. You are such a blessing to me.”
