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 what may be keeping them stuck. 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.
I support individuals and couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring patterns, or struggling with communication, intimacy, or mismatched desire. I specialize in women’s issues, multicultural counseling, and sex therapy. With couples, I use a balanced, blame-free approach focused on relational patterns—not sides— so both partners feel understood.
Starting therapy is vulnerable, and I’m glad you’ve found your way here. If you want a therapist who values authenticity, collaboration, and curiosity—and who can support both individual and relationship growth—I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. I look forward to learning more about you and what our work together could look like.
