My first focus as a therapist is to foster a space where you can be yourself. Where you can say or feel anything. I try to do this by listening, affirming, being curious, and collaborating with you to find a better way forward. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. Currently, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship problems, meaninglessness, and the residual impacts of past traumas. I do my best to acknowledge the many ways in which social, cultural, and economic inequities shape how we understand ourselves and interact with the world.

As a licensed mental health clinician and certified integrative nutritional counselor in Massachusetts, I understand people's challenges in navigating everyday life, especially when unexpected circumstances add further complexity. The coping strategies we once relied on often prove ineffective in such situations. True healing isn't about pushing harder—it's about finding balance. Often, the more we strive, the more chaos we create. I believe in the power of acceptance and shifting our mindset to remove obstacles. By honoring the four pillars of wellness—mind, body, spirit, and environment—we can work together to achieve your health goals.

As a licensed Psychologist, I first prioritize learning not only why a person is contacting me, but also to be able to relate to that person based on their individual needs and what are their expectations of therapy. I believe that we all need to have a sense of purpose or meaningfulness in our lives, something that our thoughts, emotions and life experiences contribute to the "heart" of our personalities. The process of healing from the challenges of life begins with a search for truth about our beliefs, habits and relationships. Physical health is affected by our mental health through the complex interactions between the brain and bodily functions. Interventions I use in my sessions include Cognitive Therapy, CBT, DBT and ACT. As a Psychologist, I have worked in private practice, long term care, and forensic and psychiatric hospitals. Even though these patient populations are diverse, the common denominator is the human "heart". My sessions work to connect a person's sense of meaning in life to help them overcome anxiety, depression and a loss of personal identity in this complex world.

Hey there! I'm Karla. Do you feel stuck, as if your wheels are spinning and you don't know how to move forward? I work with individuals to determine what change they hope to see and develop a client-centered plan about how to work toward the change to get unstuck. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify negative thinking patterns we can change to positively impact their moods and behaviors so the wheels aren't relentlessly spinning. Beginning therapy is a big deal and often feels like you're in the hot seat. So, I work hard to develop, foster, and maintain a therapeutic alliance to join with individuals to meet them where they are and we'll take it at your pace. Let's work together to find the change you're seeking.

I am an independently licensed individual and family therapist for the states of Massachusetts and Delaware. For over 6 years I have had the honor of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on issues that are impacting their lives. I approach treatment through a collaborative framework, recognizing that you are the expert of your life experience, and that my role is to accompany you through insightful exploration to help increase self-awareness, reach your goals, and bring about lasting change. I provide an empathetic, calm, and nurturing environment, where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Massachusetts that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
