Hi, my name is Karla, thank you for taking the time to read about me and consider me as

a partner in your healing journey. Here is a bit about me and how I might be able to support you!

I am an Oregon based Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my bachelor’s degree in

Social Work (BSW) from Portland State University in Oregon and went on to complete my

masters degree in Social work (MSW) also from Portland State University in 2019. In May of

2022 I gained my clinical license (LCSW) in Oregon.

I primarily provide mental health services to individuals 25 and younger and I'm open to working with older adults as well. In my work I specialize in

trauma work- specifically working with individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, life transitions,

immigration and grief and loss. I am passionate about making mental health services

accessible and work for the individual, so I practice and prioritize providing support to meet the

individual where they are at. I provide a lot of education around trauma and what it does to our

brains and bodies and tailor treatment to the needs of the individual.

I have over 10 years of experience supporting individuals who have experienced intimate

partner violence and sexual trauma. I also have over 3 years of working with individuals

experiencing multiple forms of trauma including racial trauma, sexual exploitation/trafficking, and

youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Oregon. My experience working in different

systems, including hospitals, school districts, small non-profits and in the juvenile justice system,

has allowed me to grow and learn about the different systems that we all navigate.

As a Bilingual and Bicultural Latinx mental health provider, I am passionate about supporting my

community and helping provide services to underserved communities. As a social worker I am

deeply committed to working to create an equitable community. This means I practice in an

anti-racist and trauma informed way, supporting individuals and validating their experiences,

without judgment.

I believe that deciding to engage in mental health services begins the process of soul healing.

This process looks different for everyone and I would be honored to walk alongside you

throughout any part of your soul healing journey.
