More about Karl
- 10 years' experience

- LPC
I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in youth, adolescent, adult, couples, and family counseling. I have been practicing for over ten years.
I currently work with clients who are wanting to gain a better approach to their life while going through difficulties with transitions, addictions, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and/or life rediscoveries, such as motivation for positive change in their day to day lives.
My training, education, and experience in counseling have provided me with a strong background in individual, couples, and family therapy.
The therapeutic approach is both interactive and collaborative, allowing, the client to have an individualized experience. I specialize in addictions, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues, and stress management.
Regardless of the situation I have always provided my clients with the highest quality of care and treatment, treating them with the utmost respect, integrity, and empathy. Encouraging my clients to move towards behavioral transformations without fear or apprehensions. As a result, my clients will gain a positive outlook and adopt new attitudes and positive reactions within their lives.
I use an integrated approach and do not believe in a one size fits all model, we are all uniquely different and because of this I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, be proud of yourself for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
