Introduction: I am located in the Dallas, TX area and work with my clients all over the country on line via zoom and in person. I am a faith-based pastoral counselor with a doctorate degree in Christian counseling. I specialize in personal transformation, mindset reset, and relationship and marriage counseling and coaching. I focus on helping my clients develop and maintain meaningful relationships, in dating, engagement and marriage. I also work in the area of personal transformation and in reprogramming negative mindsets that are established early in life. I only work with adults and do not work with teenagers or children. I love to help people discover their God-given purpose and help them develop their full potential so that they can fulfill their own unique calling. I work with uncovering self-limiting beliefs and reprogram them into positive ones. I also work with my clients toward their own unique and specific goals by helping them create an action plan and hold them accountable to achieve their goals. I help people with communication skills, conflict resolution, and give my clients tools and support to get through life‘s challenges and transitions. I have also helped many couples over the last 11 years resolve their issues by being solution focused, learn to create healthy boundaries and help them learn to love each other unconditionally. I don't take insurance and am only private pay.

Dr Carla has been amazing to work with and provides us with the right approach for us to work through to improve our interpersonal relationship. My relationship with my partner has improved substantially as we work through the sessions. Dr Carla’s method, material & references are of very high quality. She also shares her personal experiences and guides us through setting up specific homework. We are grateful to have someone like Dr Carla to help us through our life journey.

Dr. Carla has been working with my fiancée and myself for over 3 months in couples counseling. Our experience has been very positive and we appreciate the tools we have learned to better our relationship and look forward to our marriage down the road. We would highly recommend Dr. Carla and her approach to how to work through different types of issues in a relationship and help the person self identify the issues rather than just the therapist just tell you.

I have to say, Dr. Carla M. has played a crucial role in transforming our relationship for the better. When my wife and I sought her guidance, we believed that we had a solid grasp on how to communicate effectively as a couple. However, thanks to Dr. Carla, we soon realized that there was so much more we could learn and improve upon. What truly sets Dr. Carla apart is her remarkable ability to pinpoint the specific challenges we were facing. She possesses a keen insight that allowed her to identify the core issues that were affecting our marriage. This, in itself, was invaluable to us. Knowing what we needed to work on was the first step towards healing and strengthening our relationship. Dr. Carla didn't just stop at identifying the problems; she provided us with practical tools and strategies to address them head-on. These tools were tailored to our unique situation, and they made a significant difference in how we communicated and interacted with each other. Her guidance helped us understand the underlying factors that were impacting our marriage, and she worked with us to create a communication plan that was effective and sustainable. It wasn't about quick fixes; it was about building a foundation for a healthier and more fulfilling partnership. I can genuinely say that I highly recommend Dr. Carla to anyone seeking insight into effective communication, whether it's for couples, individuals, or even family dynamics. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, and her expertise has the potential to benefit anyone looking to improve their relationships with those closest to them.

Carla is a wonderful therapist. She helped me so much during some tough times. Her ability to relate her advice and thoughts with Christian-based knowledge and reference was also a plus. Highly recommend her!
