Integrative Counseling on Telephone or Zoom
I offer insightful and very practical support for becoming aware of, and balancing the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and energetic sheaths of your entire being. My counseling approach includes guidance for effectively trusting your intuition, practicing radical self-care and owning your power.
We also will work with establishing healthy lifestyle choices for sleep hygiene, physical well-being, emotional balance, and peace of mind.
This is supportive counseling with a professional Psychotherapist and Certified Yoga Therapist to assist you in breaking through habitual barriers and old patterns.
I believe that Personal Development is about exploring all aspects of our essential true nature and embracing non-duality by befriending our light and our shadow with radical self-acceptance and curiosity. It is my calling to support others in letting go of that which no longer serves them to joyfully embrace their heart's desire.

Across the Miles
"Carmela has been a great help to me while I was experiencing issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, and isolation. She has offered counseling and life coaching and has guided me and supported me in dark times.
Ironically, we have never met face to face. I was referred to her by a mutual friend while I was teaching in Thailand at a university. Carmela counseled me online, overcoming space and time zones. We were separated by continents and oceans, and both immersed in two different cultural dimensions. Yet, in spite of all of this, Carmela proved to be a beacon of light guiding me out of a very confused emotional state. I am grateful to her not only for acting professionally, but also for being kind, humorous, understanding, and really lovely!"

Journey Beyond Psychotherapy to Inner Peace & Healing
Carmela is, very simply, an extraordinary practitioner and gifted healer. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I came to Sayulita at 41, burnt out and feeling desperate, hopeless and lost, despite years of therapy and personal development. On a whim I decided to attend one of Carmela's workshops and then decided to embark on a series of individual sessions. I very quickly felt the benefits and it felt like very potent medicine and I could feel it fundamentally impacting my levels of anxiety and depression. My overall sense of wholeness and wellness started to increase over the sessions.
Carmela insightfully guided me to examine and let go of old beliefs that no longer serve me, to hold and release long-held emotional distress, to learn new techniques of coping with recurring anxieties and to gain the courage to move forward with a significant life transition.
It difficult to describe exactly how it works, but the sessions are founded in exploring the belief that as humans we create dualities that then cause us suffering.
She and I would talk and she would record my words to include in the meditation protocol. Keenly observant and adept at encouraging me to bravely face the tough issues, she also made the journeys deliciously creative and enjoyable. I always felt very safe lying down on the mat, supported by silk pillows, guided by her voice and Tibetan bowls to an altered state of awareness. My breath deepened. My body relaxed. My mind cleared. I created an inner sanctuary for self-trust and ease. The journeys were each very individual and profound. I discovered where I hold emotions in my body. Ancestors visited me. Images emerged. It was a hugely transformative and healing experience where I feel I have been fundamentally able to grow and change in a way that takes me much closer to achieving my heart's desires.

Amazingly Gifted Healer and Psychotherapist
I highly recommend Carmela to anyone seeking counseling and spiritual growth. I love ending each session with a Goddess Card Reading. The reading gives me extra insight on a spiritual level of all of the topics discussed in the session. Carmela is spot on with each reading. As a nurse, I have a career that is stressful ~ especially during COVID. I want a Therapist and Spiritual Mentor to help me with my anxiety and personal issues, but also for spiritual growth and personal development.
I met Carmela in Sayulita, Mexico after having a terrible traveling experience with a friend. Carmela counseled me through my traumatizing experience with counseling sessions paired along with Crystal Bowl Sound Healing Meditation. Carmela's soothing and calming voice, along with the crystal bowls and therapy sessions, helped me recover quickly from this event. So, I signed on to work with her via telephone long distance for weekly, and then bi-monthly, and now, monthly sessions.
Since Sayulita, I have had the honor to work with Carmela over the past 3 years. During our monthly counseling sessions, Carmela reviews my health and well-being with a holistic approach. We cover everything from my anxiety issues to creating and strengthening boundaries with family and friends and managing Co-dependent and Narcissistic people in my life. Carmela reminds me to come from a place of power and to follow my Goddess Intuition and Inner Wisdom.
My confidence and boundaries have improved dramatically since I have worked with her.
