Meet Karla

Karla emphasizes authenticity and self-honesty in her practice, using therapy as a tool to help individuals discover their true selves and define their own identity. She acknowledges the fear of confronting grief and highlights the healing power of experiencing grief, leading to deep self-connection and vulnerability. Karla's approach is centered around the power of deep presence, hearing and validating one's story, which she believes can lead to personal growth and joy.
