Hi, I’m Carla

I am a NYC based licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Board-certified Art Therapist, proud mom and artist with over 20 years experience working with people from age 3 to 99.

After 12 years working at Montefiore Medical Center, I opened my private practice in 2019.

I am thrilled to combine my passions with my educational background to do the work I love, helping clients gain perspective and, when they are ready, to heal from past wounds that may be affecting them in the present.

Healing from trauma involves working with the physical body and the nervous system, clarifying and expressing emotion and making decisions about what you are willing to change.

I am now offering Attachment-Focused EMDR as a way to address and reprocess past traumatic experiences. Growth and change occur over the course of a lifetime.

Not just therapy as usual.

What is Creative Arts Therapy?

Creative Arts Therapy uses expressive means to treat emotional, somatic and mental health conditions.

Creative Arts Therapy can help you understand your emotions and learn self-regulation to keep calm and learn to respond rather than to react.

Creative Arts Therapy does not require any artistic ability. We help you channel thoughts and emotions through artistic expression of any kind.

Creative Arts Therapy provides a universal language for communication, with the experience of connection.
