My name is Karlianne, but you can call me Karlie. I believe that authenticity is a prerequisite for growth and healing, and I invite you to bring your full, unfiltered self into our sessions. As a clinician, I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental, sex-positive, and humor-friendly space where individuals and couples can explore anything and everything holding them back. Together, we can co-create a therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth, emotional development, and deeper connection—whether that means healing from trauma, navigating relational challenges, or reconnecting with yourself or your partner.

Hi there! I’m Sophie, a relational therapist with professional and personal experience in the startup world. I believe our relationships shape every corner of our lives, including how we see ourselves. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand the “why” behind how they show up and make meaningful change. Many of my clients thrive in fast-paced environments but feel stuck in anxious-avoidant cycles, communication breakdowns, or patterns that leave them feeling disconnected. Together, we focus on building emotional security, strengthening communication, and shifting patterns that no longer serve you.

Anxiety isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your body and relationships, too. You’ve been living with that constant hum of anxiety—racing thoughts, restless nights, and tension that never quite lets go.
On the outside, you’re doing all the things, but inside, you’re tired of overthinking, overgiving, and feeling like it’s never enough. It shows up in your work, your relationships, even in your body.
What you’re really looking for is relief: a calmer mind, a steadier nervous system, and the freedom to show up in your life with more clarity and confidence.

Exploring our identities, improving our relationships, and navigating life's stresses can be challenging and overwhelming. With warmth, collaboration, and action, I can help clients identify harmful patterns and make healthier decisions. This can look like uprooting internalized shame, exploring identities, journeying through transitions, processing trauma and stress, expanding coping skills, building self-compassion, managing depression and anxiety, and better connecting with our selves and our communities. Together, we can create a custom plan that builds upon your unique strengths and empowers you in pursuing your chosen goals!

Our ideal client is someone who knows they don’t want to keep “powering through,” but also doesn’t want to waste time (or money) cycling through therapists who aren’t the right fit. They might be navigating anxiety (racing thoughts, worry, panic), depression (low mood, numbness, fatigue), chronic stress or burnout, relationship conflict, major life transitions, grief, trauma-related symptoms, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t explain. They may be a busy professional, a parent, a student, a caregiver, or simply someone who’s tired of carrying it alone. Many are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed.

I offer a thoughtful, grounded space to help you better understand what’s happening beneath the surface of your experiences. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside, yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally - often repeating patterns they don’t fully understand.
My approach focuses on helping you develop deeper awareness of your patterns, emotions, and relationships - both with yourself and others. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s coming up for you, while also helping you recognize the patterns shaping your experiences and responses.

Do you worry what others think, have negative self-talk, or feel down, and like something is missing in your life? Have goals or dreams that have gone to the wayside? Or does being on time, and washing the dishes consistently feel almost impossible?
If so, then you may have come to the right place. Thinking of, much less opening up to someone about these challenges can be hard enough, and may be even harder if you’re also concerned that you might be misunderstood, or not getting the best treatment possible because factors like ethnic background, gender identity, or neurodivergence are being considered too little (or too much).

Bring order to your world with compassion and meaning. You may look like you have it all together, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Racing thoughts, poor sleep, emotional exhaustion, unsatisfying relationship patterns that don’t change, or the impact medical challenges can leave you feeling drained. You might struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or speaking up for yourself. You don’t have to do this alone.
Together, we’ll help you feel grounded, confident, and reconnected to what matters most. Book a free 30-minute consultation.
