You know all the right things about mental health, but your emotions still feel overwhelming. People often comment about how well-adjusted your are or compliment you on your success, but in truth, you don't feel this way. You feel stuck in your mind and struggle to process what you feel so that your can heal. It's even possible that you have tried therapy before, but you weren't able to achieve the change you wanted. If you relate to this, I can help you better understand what is going on and we can work together to get back to your most natural self.
Hi, my name is Karla Gossens. I’m a seasoned therapist who works with individuals to explore the possibilities of change in a safe and open environment. I have experience working with wide range of adults and specialize in complex trauma, adult attachment, anxiety & depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and religious wounds.
Starting therapy can be an awkward and anxious thing, which is why I focus on a low pressure introduction and virtual therapy that allows you to stay in the environment that is most comfortable and convenient to you. We'll work together to process what has happened and to make sense of what your feelings so that you can continue to move forward in freedom.
