Karla, a Licensed Professional Counselor and NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, is a committed advocate for the powerful connection between mental and physical well-being. Her work is rooted in a core belief: true wellness begins when the mind and body are treated as one unified system, each influencing and strengthening the other.

For more than a decade, she has supported clients across private practice, schools, hospitals, and mediation and court settings.

These diverse environments have allowed her to work with individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the everyday stressors that accompany being human. No matter the setting, her approach remains steady—grounded in empathy, informed by evidence-based practice, and centered on creating a space where every person can heal, learn, and grow.

Her commitment to integrated wellness extends beyond the therapy room. As the creator and host of The Mental Lift Podcast, she brings meaningful conversations about mental health and physical fitness into the spotlight.
