Hi there, I'm Karla!
How are you managing the obstacles you are faced with? Let's work together in fostering your confidence and autonomy while navigating challenges brought by life.
My focus
Being in community mental health for the past 6 years, my clients have struggled with transitions in life, low self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, depression, and a variety of other topics. We can work together to address the current challenges you are faced with.
My approach
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to decrease negative thought processes and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to regulate intense emotions. I apply solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) for clients who are seeking to construct solutions in their life.
