About Carly
Carly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Care Manager (CMC), and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) who has been privileged to work in the field of aging for 20 years. She holds a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland-Baltimore (2004) and a Bachelors from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
She coordinated the research center of the late Gene D. Cohen MD PhD—The George Washington University Center on Aging, Health, and Humanities (cahh.gwu.edu)—which was where she first studied creativity and aging, and became wholly enamored of the capacities and potentials of aging people, *which we all are*.
She helps people integrate change and loss, practice self-compassion and self-kindness, access their power, and live in the fullness of their being.
During her childhood Carly's dad was a county nursing home administrator, and she spent her preschool years at the home befriending the residents. She is presently also a parent, child, partner, singer, songwriter, dancer, graduate school instructor, and insatiable student in the school of life.
