LET'S WORK TOGETHER
Counselling In the Dominican
1:1 in-person counselling for those in the Las Terrenas, Samana area.
In-person offerings can be individually tailored to the needs and desires of the client and can include sessions in my quiet office location in Playa Bonita, or beach-side sessions on the sand by the sea! Additionally, I can come to you where you are most comfortable and feel the safest.
Virtual Counselling for Canadians
1:1 virtual psychotherapy for those located in Canada.
Therapy is no longer limited to being in the same city - or even country! I’m able to provide online or phone appointments to anyone in Canada (or anywhere) who wishes to find more balance in their life. Though there are certain limitations to working together virtually, there is still so much opportunity for healing!
Hola,I'm Carlie!
I am a semi-nomadic citizen of the earth and lover of all living beings. For my whole life I have felt compelled to offer people support, love, compassion, and care however I could. My heart and desire for connecting with people has been the catalyst for all of my travels and roles including youth mentor, family respite care provider, camp leader, teacher, community health care worker, and counsellor. My desire is for depth, which brought me through a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology (Yorkville University, NB, Canada) and into my current role as Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist.
​
I use my passion for people and wellness to holistically help people compassionately connect back to themselves, the one they may have lost along the way, and to learn to hear the voice of their own body and the intuition of their own being. Discovering the lost art of balance (Tula) is the path that brought me back to life and the one I now use as a mantra in helping others find Tula too.
​
The Tula Collective integrates body, mind, and spirit in a fusion of classic talk therapy with a mindfulness, self-compassion and nervous-system-informed holistic focus. I invite and encourage depth of practice as we co-create a personal counselling experience together.

MANIFESTING BALANCE
Depression, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, grief and loss, unexplainable physical pain and digestive issues, past and present trauma, and sometimes just that general sense that something is missing are all a part of the human life experience at some point or another.
You are not alone, you are not broken, and the life force inside you cries out for the light I would like to help you (re)discover. Your body is not separate from your mind and spirit but they work in tandem to help you connect to your divine knowing.
This is the balance we seek at The Tula Collective. Finding balance may mean finding your body's voice for the first time, it may mean recognizing the sound of your intuition, and we pray that it will mean finding a sense of calm and peace as you learn to walk in balance once again, or for the first time, with yourself and others.

I'm here to support you...
Counselling is a sacred space where safety, connection, and healing are the foundational goals. It is important, for both of us, that a true shared connection can be felt in order for us to feel safe in our bodies and spirits as we work together toward healing. It is also important that I have the right knowledge and experience to help you through what you’re going through! Because counselling is an investment, I want to make sure that you are confident in your investment from the start.
This is why I offer free 15 minute connection calls to talk through what you might want to explore in counselling and how we might conceptualize doing that together. This way, we both know what we are committing to and feel ready to get started on this journey together when we begin our sessions.
