As a Licensed Psychotherapist serving clients in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Texas, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and reconnection. I believe that true healing is not just about the mind, but also about honoring the body and nurturing the spirit. This belief has shaped my Somatic Insight Therapeutic Approach—one that gently invites you back into relationship with yourself. With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, I have seen how powerful it can be when we slow down and begin to listen to what the body is holding. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your inner experiences with curiosity and compassion. By weaving together mindfulness, body awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic practices, I help you tune into your emotions, understand your nervous system, and move through your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Our work together is collaborative and personalized. We may integrate reflective conversation, breathwork, and gentle somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, build self-awareness, and find a sense of grounding and steadiness within. My intention is to support you in feeling more at home in yourself—more connected, more resourced, and more empowered in your healing. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions, or the lingering effects of trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to walk alongside you with care and intention, as you rediscover your strength, reclaim your story, and move toward a deeper sense of balance, peace, and wholeness.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Starting therapy can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking, so it's completely normal to have a mix of emotions. I want to assure you that I'm here to support you throughout the process, and together we will create a safe space for your healing and growth. During our initial session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. This foundation is essential for effective therapy, as it helps establish trust and creates an environment where you feel comfortable opening up and sharing your thoughts and experiences. We'll spend some time getting to know each other, and I encourage you to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process or my role as your therapist. Next, I will guide you through an exploration of your reasons for seeking therapy and the specific concerns or challenges you would like to address. This discussion will help us clarify your therapy goals and set a roadmap for our work together. It's important to remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and your input and preferences are essential to the success of our sessions. You can expect a non-judgmental and confidential space where you have the freedom to express yourself openly. Therapy is a place where you can share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism. It's okay to feel vulnerable or unsure at times, as this is often a natural part of the therapeutic journey. Throughout our sessions, I'll actively listen and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your experiences. Together, we will explore different therapeutic techniques and approaches that align with your needs and goals. If necessary, I may also recommend additional resources or referrals to enhance your therapy experience. Lastly, it's common to experience a range of emotions after a therapy session. Some people may feel relief, while others might feel a temporary intensification of emotions. Everyone's experience is unique, so please remember to be gentle with yourself and practice self-care in the days following our session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a counselor is my unwavering ability to listen with genuine empathy and create a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique story, and guiding you gently toward understanding, healing, and growth. With compassion, patience, and authenticity, I am dedicated to helping you uncover your inner resilience and empowering you to blossom into the best version of yourself. Your journey is important, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Integrative
In my counseling practice, I use an integrative treatment approach, which means I combine different therapeutic techniques and theories tailored to your unique needs. This approach allows me to draw from various methods—such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches—to create a personalized treatment plan. My goal is to provide comprehensive support that addresses multiple aspects of your well-being, helping you achieve greater insight, healing, and growth.
Somatic
I incorporate somatic treatment methods, which focus on the connection between the mind and body. This approach helps you become more aware of physical sensations, feelings, and responses that may be connected to your emotional experiences. By working with the body, we can access and process stored trauma or stress more effectively, promoting a deeper sense of calm, grounding, and emotional healing.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I use culturally sensitive therapy methods, which means I recognize and respect each person's cultural background, beliefs, and experiences. I aim to create a safe and inclusive space where your cultural identity is valued and integrated into our work together. This approach helps ensure that the support I provide is relevant and respectful to your unique cultural perspectives, fostering more effective and meaningful healing.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma-informed care methods, which means I approach our work with an understanding of how trauma can impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel empowered and validated. By recognizing the effects of trauma, we can work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on healing and building resilience.

Dr. Sapp is good when it comes to digging deep and drawing me to look at my past as younger child

To summarize my experience with Karla in less than 500 characters is difficult to do, as in my short time with her, I have already experienced an internal balance and knowing of myself beyond what I was able to achieve on my own. She provides an outside perspective that is rooted in knowledge acquired through stellar academic achievements and a career with a central focus on helping the individuals who inhabit this world.
