About Karla
As a pre-licensed social work professional in the state of Georgia, I am committed to creating a supportive and affirming space where you feel valued and empowered to navigate life’s complexities. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for your lived experiences. Grounded in a person-centered and trauma-informed perspective, I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to meet your unique needs. I believe in tailoring each session to honor your individual story, while equipping you with practical tools to heal from unresolved trauma and move forward with greater ease and confidence. My professional experience includes working with individuals across diverse backgrounds and age groups, with a particular focus on children and adolescents. I am especially passionate about helping young people find their voice and express their emotions in ways that are healthy and constructive. It is an honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
Philosophy of Care
What I love most about child and family mental and behavioral therapy is witnessing the small shifts and everyday wins in their lives. Finding a way to connect with children in a way they understand is a fun and challenging puzzle.
Happiness is…
a journey better done with others.
