"As a therapist, I strive to "See with the eyes of another, listen with the ears of another, and to feel with the heart of another," (Alfred Adler quote) which fuels my ability to be empathic and show compassion for those who are hurting."  Upon a client's request, Karla welcomes the opportunity to bring faith practices into the therapeutic process.
