Hi! I’m Carla from Michigan. I’m a single mom to a young adult with autism. I’ve navigated the journey largely on my own. I was married for 3 years and have been divorced for 7 years. Relationships can be both beautiful and challenging. Through the ups and downs of dating, long-term relationships, heartbreak, trust issues, family dynamics, losing friends, and work relationships, I’ve learned the importance of healthy communication and setting boundaries to build stronger, more fulfilling connections. Being a parent to a child with special needs has its unique challenges and rewards. I offer guidance on navigating the complexities of parenting, fostering independence, and maintaining strong, supportive relationships. I’ll give a listening ear, share personal insights, and offer honest yet encouraging guidance to help you grow and heal. Whether you need support in moving on, improving communication, rediscovering yourself, or navigating the challenges of parenting, I’m here.
