Hi there, I'm Karla!

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps? With 28 years of experience helping teens, adults, and families navigate stress, grief, life transitions, parenting, career changes, and loss—and 20 years of pastoral care for those seeking faith integration—let's see how we can navigate your next steps together.

My focus

Anxiety and stress, depression and mood concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions (job changes, divorce, major life events), trauma and PTSD, grief and loss.

My approach

I offer a compassionate space to be heard, supported, and helped toward greater clarity, hope, and practical change through cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy. Reach out when you’re ready to explore what healing, growth, and renewed direction could look like for you.
