Fulfilling A Mission

"My life’s goal has been to help others. For almost 7 years I worked with families and at-risk youth in crisis. Many were on the verge of being removed from their home and placed in either foster care or juvenile detention centers.

As a case manager, my job was to help them learn coping skills to manage their feelings and behaviors and then to learn how to express themselves in healthier ways. The young people I was working with needed to be able to explore their situations and learn how to make sense of a world they felt little or no control over.

God placed a calling on my heart to do more. So I went back to school. I enrolled in the Masters of Art program in Professional Counseling at Liberty University while I continued to work full time. I completed my M.A. and became a therapist. I grew from every experience, I had to learn how to help myself first, and now I want to help you. No one should live a life that is riddled with self doubt, insecurities, negative self-talk, or low self-esteem. I want that for everyone.

My passion is to empower individuals to be able to live their lives to their full potential. My desire is to work with young people, families and adults to increase self confidence, learn how to manage emotions and express their feelings in healthy ways. It’s so exciting to think about the limitless possibilities and all the potential that life has to offer.

Life Line Counseling is just that...a lifeline to help you get where you want to go."

Testimonials

"Carla was referred to me by a friend of mine when I was going through a tough time (product of past and present events). I opened up to her on our first conversation because she was so easy to talk to. Really - it felt like I'd known her for years!

She is kind, genuine and does not judge. She has a gift of gently pulling out what is there that I don't always see. I am really grateful for Carla and would highly recommend her!"
