Hi there, I'm Karla Fernanda!
I'm passionate about childhood mental health because intervening early helps your child reach their full potential and grow into an emotionally healthy, confident adult. The parent-child relationship is vital, so I include you as much as possible during treatment. I'd love to help you and your child connect through play.
My focus
I primarily work with children who have behavioral challenges, trauma history, depression, anxiety, or who struggle in school or social settings. I also work with parents who struggle to connect with their children. If you're unsure how to help your child, I provide play-based family therapy to help you connect in positive ways.
My approach
I use attachment-based therapy to strengthen your relationship through play-based interventions. Children's behaviors are communication, and through play, I help you and your child understand behaviors, feelings, and learn healthy coping skills. My goal is that your child will feel safer, connected, and understood.
