LMHC, 17 years of experience
Hello! I am a licensed counselor with over 15 years of experience specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment based/ relationships, and addictions. My approach to therapy is open and supportive with the perception that we are in it together and I will meet you where you are as a supportive member of your team. Working through our issues in therapy is not easy but completely worth it to feel better and improve the quality of our lives. Yes you can do it and you don't have to do it alone. I will draw from my extensive background working with adults and teens through crisis, inpatient settings, pre and post partum care, families, couples, and substance rehab. I have training and certifications in CBT, DBT, EMDR, expressive art therapy, and working towards getting my certification in IFS (if that's enough acronyms to list) :) You have taken the first important step in finding a therapist, well done! Please contact me so we can take the next steps in creating a healthier and more fulfilled version of You!
Our follow up sessions will have structure and specify the goals you and I have created and found to help you in achieving a calmer, and a more fulfilled you.
My strength is helping you achieve your goals and the change needed to achieve a fuller and happier life. I enjoy watching you change your anxieties and fears to a manageable place you deserve.

Karla has helped me in too many ways to even begin to describe. She has helped me heal in ways I didn't know was possible. I have grown so much. My life has more joy since I started doing the work with her over two years ago. I am so thankful to be able to have her as a therapist!

Karla is so genuine, insightful, kind, intelligent, and really helpful in bringing the awareness piece to the forefront. She’s very patient, yet strong in helping recognize and identify parts which are triggered. She’s also incredibly at giving tools to help back up her insights. She’s respectful and enjoyable to speak with! I’m so grateful for Karla as my therapist!!!

Karla is incredible. Her targeted approach to therapy by mixing parts therapy, talk therapy and EMDR is changing my life for the better. I am eternally grateful for my work with her and I am a better human because of it. She is absolutely the best therapist I’ve had, and I’ve had my fair share. Karla makes you feel so safe and seen. After a few sessions, I have worked through some years of trauma and self work. Thank you so much for your patient and compassionate heart, Karla!
