For the past 20 years I have helped many people reduce and eliminate their anxiety.
My method involves quickly identifying the irrational thoughts that cause your anxiety and applying specialized techniques that bring about immediate relief.
Most clients begin to experience changes in our first session.
I believe anxiety is a helpful signal that tells us something is wrong and that we need to change it.
But it is difficult to make changes when we are feeling anxious.
The techniques I use help to quiet the symptoms of anxiety so you can function more normally and begin working toward a solution to the underlying problem.
Through my training and private practice experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have worked with ethnically, economically, and sexually diverse populations.
My style is dynamic and interactive and I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to explore your issues.
Both short-term and long-term therapy are available. I welcome the opportunity to meet you in a free telephone consultation: (805) 962-1129
"Therapy can help you increase your self-confidence, take charge of your life, improve your relationships and cope better with life stresses."

"Carla's techniques give me the ability to take control again when I feel entirely consumed by anxiety.
When I perform them, I feel relief that is almost immediate.
By combining the physical and mental steps involved, I am able to regain a rhythm, a breath, and a moment where I feel I am alright.
When you are consumed psychologically, these tool pulls you out of the trap giving you the opportunity to take control again.
I always feel better than before and I can use it anywhere on my own."
- M.L. - Santa Barbara, California
"I found Carla's approach to be extremely helpful for me to relax from a stressful situation, or to become less depressed.
I would find that it boosted my spirit for the rest of the day."
- L.B. - Santa Barbara, California
"Carla introduced me to these methods about two years ago and it has definitely
changed my life forever. As someone who deals with anxiety as a result of my
abusive childhood, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, perfectionism and high
standards for relationships, this method has allowed me to take a step back and
change my approach to certain situations. When I am faced with anxiety about
something, a session results in a clearer and calmer mind and most
importantly, a better outcome! I've also experienced that I often
don't revisit that same cause of anxiety ever again, and in those cases I do, my approach
is ever changed for the better. I HIGHLY recommend Carla's approach to
anxiety reduction!"
- ~Y.C.C.
"Carla's method has given me a concrete, easy to use, effective tool to manage and reduce my anxiety.
I stay functional in situations that used to overwhelm me.
I am not helpless any more and I don't have to hide out, alone.
Now, I can get in the game and play with the other kids in the sand box. That is a great gift."
- Marty K - Santa Barbara
"Finally, something that really helps me control my anxiety!
I found it very easy to use any time."
- C.D. - Emeryville, California
"Thank you Carla for introducing me to this technique! I feel so much calmer now.
My anxiety was so bad that I couldn't really do anything but obsess on my worries.
They don't control me now."
- J.M. - Royersford, Pennsylvania
"Carla has shown me great exercises for getting rid of negative feelings.
When I feel anxious or angry, it really helps that negative feeling dissipate.
I find it amazing that the feeling goes down almost immediately."
- K.W. - Santa Barbara, CA
