Individual therapist – teens and adults 14+, specializing in trauma, life transitions, and relationships.
Individuals who see Karla for therapy can expect a compassionate, “person- centered” experience. Karla believes every single person embodies the wisdom within themselves to integrate and heal even the most seemingly challenging, traumatic, or complicated life experiences. She trusts your ability to empower yourself! Using a variety of mindfulness-based, somatic and hypnosis techniques, you’ll explore deep, subconscious underlying beliefs and programs that contribute to present-day problems. Karla enjoys working with teenagers and adults ages 14+, people in transition in their lives (college, parenting, illness, divorce, career changes) and individuals who, through challenges and trauma, are questioning the deeper meaning of life and ready to explore existential and/or spiritual topics relevant to their current life situations.
Karla is a certified hypnotherapist and uses somatic (body-focused) and hypnosis techniques to assist clients to integrate complex trauma, explore different “parts” of themselves (trained utilizing strategies from Internal Family Systems, or IFS), address relationship challenges, access their subconscious mind to heal childhood wounds, and overcome unwanted habits and fears. Karla is certified in Anchored Relational (formerly AIR Network) model and is experienced working with complex trauma and dissociative disorders. Finally, Karla enjoys “nature therapy,” hiking state parks with her young-adult kids and tending to her flowers and plants. Karla also adores cooking healthy food, baking, cookie decorating, and practicing yoga (working towards yoga teacher training). Karla’s motto: a balanced life is a healthy life!
