HIGHLAND COUNSELING

My name is Carly and I specialize in relationships with heterosexual and LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and non-monogamous partnerships. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, recently broken up, married, separated, divorced, in a non-monogamous relationship, or would like to engage in nonmonogamy, I'm here to ask you the right questions so that you can get the perspective that you need to take the next steps confidently! Areas that I often explore with my clients include: -Communicating your needs -Forming healthy boundaries -Processing commitment obstacles -Dating with confidence -Increasing intimacy -Exploring recurring themes -Expanding emotional intelligence -Managing resentment associated with the relationship/s -Rediscovering who you are as an individual inside and/or outside of the relationship -Engaging in nonmonogamy successfully (polyamory, swinging, open marriages) ​Relationships are a great source of love, respect, and safety, however they can also lead to feelings of sadness, frustration, anxiety, jealousy, guilt, and heartbreak. You deserve happiness, to be heard, to have your needs met, to love freely, and to be loved wholeheartedly. I want to help you to achieve this. ART THERAPY As a professional counselor and art therapist, I am able to integrate counseling theory with art therapy techniques for clients interested in utilizing this approach. While not all of my clients engage in this technique, many of my clients have found that it fosters deeper emotional understanding.
