My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"Throughout my five-year clinical career, I’ve grown to understand the meaning of the quote, “Mental Health is not a destination, but a process; it’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I’ve assisted a wide range of clients throughout their mental health journey of self-reflection, self-exploration, and self-awareness. Utilizing a wide range of CBT evidenced-based interventions and techniques during our sessions, we’ll be able to identify the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In addition, increasing a deeper comprehension and perspective on how to challenge and manage maladaptive behaviors and symptoms that impact your overall functioning.

I was very specific about what I was looking for in a provider based on their profile, and thankfully, Karl has been exactly what I needed. He has been incredibly supportive and empowering, and his approach aligns well with the way I think while also challenging me with the perspective I need to continue growing.

He was nice. I'm unsure if he's too demanding about paperwork, rather than you deciding with him.

I have seen a good amount of therapist in my few days of life yet he gave me feedback and things to consider I have not heard before. Also he has a chill vibe about him.
