About Karla
Karla aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people notice and challenge negative thoughts while strengthening small daily habits that matter. She listens for each person's values and goals, then helps shape steps that fit real life.
Her background includes supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and she often addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, and isolation. That work emphasizes restoring personal agency and finding ways forward after loss or hurt.
Karla uses a mix of techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. She also draws on acceptance-oriented and existential ideas to help people clarify what matters and act on it. Therapy can include skills practice, goal-setting, and short exercises to try between sessions.
People who come to her often want clear, down-to-earth support. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To start, she asks about current struggles and daily routines so the work can match what a person actually faces.
