Miss Karla has kept me from getting kicked out of my school. 😊 She helps me think about my choices.

I have been to both group and individual sessions with Karla. Not only did I get valuable life lessons but it was always something I looked forward to. Always a comfortable environment.

About

You’re so tired. And there is no rest in sight.

You don’t know how you could even make another appointment when you are taking your kids to all theirs.

You wanted to figure out why you’re so busy, but you can’t find time to do it.

You aren’t sure about coming to therapy, but you’ve got to do something to make things better

But what if you could start feeling better?

There are ways to better understand your child and what they are experiencing. In a few weeks, communication could be better. There could be a reconnection and less fighting.

Tools are available to get your children’s attention and lead them to communicate and cooperate.

Therapy can be a powerful place for transformation, personal growth and healing.

Let’s get there together.

Take a risk and take the next step to make an appointment for a counseling session.

Because you’re worth it!

About Me

Talk therapy, play therapy and art therapy are used on a case-by-case basis. Working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I have found there is an appropriate time to introduce each of these modalities to help alleviate the problems being experienced by my clients.

My education includes a bachelor’s in art education and a master’s in art therapy from Florida State University. While I am a registered art therapist, I later acquired my license as a mental health counselor and work through Central Florida Psychiatric Associates in Winter Park.

I find that I can easily connect with kids and the biggest kids (adults) of all ages. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help change thinking patterns. I am certified in EMDR treatment for trauma and use exposure response therapy techniques to help clients markedly reduce anxiety symptoms.

My personal enjoyment comes from hanging out with friends, biking, kayaking and going to the beach – why live in Florida and not go appreciate the peacefulness of walking by the ocean?
