Meet Carla

Growing up in the Netherlands during the aftermath of the Holocaust and World War II, I was acutely aware of the urgent need for a kinder world.

This conviction led me to leave my career as a classical flutist and embark on a journey to become a psychologist, eventually earning a Ph.D. in transpersonal counseling. Driven by a commitment to lifelong learning, I have completed numerous certifications, especially in healing modalities such as systemic family constellations and non-violent communication.

In my work, I have come to understand that psychology is not just about labels and diagnoses but the complex interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind and the impact of generational inherited trauma on the brain. I have discovered that traditional behavioral or talk therapy alone may not always be sufficient to address issues such as critical mindsets, career challenges, struggling relationships, destructive familial patterns, trauma, and generational inherited trauma. As a result, I employ various alternative modalities to offer a personalized approach to each client’s unique situation.

I am so grateful for the remarkable healing I received!

I am so grateful for Carla's ability to help me see the blocks that kept me in depression. She opened my eyes to how the trauma in my childhood has affected my my relationships.. It helped me to release the emotional burdens I have been carrying for a long time. I am truly grateful for the remarkable healing I received and will continue to receive.

Thank you, Carla! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for family or relationship coaching. She is a true professional.

That was so amazing!

I was perplexed about a current relationship. I got so much clarity in one session with Carla simply by stepping on the footprints - the systemic constellation work. That was so amazing! It is one thing to intellectualize the answers, and it is different when you experience it in this way. You get answers in the session, and everything is clear.

Eram Saeed, Pakistan/U.S.

Carla is a wonderfully bright and shining gem in my life.

With her guidance, I have reacquainted with a life filled with love, laughter, and joy. She holds vast clinical, scientific, and spiritual knowledge, which she shares to heal and transform those willing to listen and learn. She is authentic and articulate, a real treasure to anyone looking for personal transformation. She helped me on how to live in my relationship with more love, laughter, and happiness.
