Carly was born and raised in Houston, TX and graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Business Administration. After several years working in the nonprofit world, Carly felt called to pursue a career in counseling. She is completing her Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Houston Christian University, where she also received extra training in Marriage and Family Therapy. She is under the supervision of practice owner Julie Summers, LPC-S.

Carly works with individuals ages 5 and up, as well as couples and families. She is committed to walking alongside clients who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, maternal mental health issues, life transitions, and parenting and relationship challenges.

Carly’s clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She also enjoys incorporating faith into her clinical work with clients who are seeking a faith-based perspective.

As a recipient of counseling, Carly has been in your shoes and understands how scary the idea of starting therapy can be. She believes in meeting clients where they are and providing the guidance, encouragement, and support they need. Carly works together with her clients to create goals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and experience joy in their personal lives and relationships.

Outside of counseling, Carly loves spending time with her husband and two young children. She is actively involved in her church and West Houston Young Life where she was a volunteer leader for four years. She loves coffee, walks, Tex Mex, and cheering on the Baylor Bears.
