Carly lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband and two amazing children. Carly obtained her therapy license in 2016 and has been working as a therapist ever since, discovering trauma work as her main interest. Carly has always had a love for writing, so when she was looking for emotional regulation books to share with her children, she thought, "Hey, why don't I just write one myself?!" Combining her love for writing and passion helping others, it was a blast to write.
