Do you feel overwhelmed? Like life just feels hard? Anxiety is messy, unpredictable, overpowering and insidious. It can feel terrible. Not just for the person who is experiencing it, but also for the people who love them. If you feel this way, you are not alone! I am here to help. The goal is not to get rid of your anxiety; the goal is to live your life despite it. It is not safety you are looking for, but courage. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also a wife, a mother and a Christian woman. I am compassionate, understanding and empathetic. I am trained in many treatment interventions and I have been working in the field for over 16 years. Don't suffer alone, please book an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you!

Get to know me

Adults (25-65), Young adults (18-24), Adolescents (13-17) I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, families, and individuals across various age groups, addressing a spectrum of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.

I’ve been seeing Karley for a few months and truly appreciate her calm, friendly approach. She creates a safe space where I feel heard and never judged. She’s validating, helps guide the conversation, and offers solutions without overwhelming me. Karley has been a huge support in helping me manage my stress and anxiety. I highly recommend her!
