She provides therapy for adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults, creating a supportive environment where clients can stabilize, heal, and move forward with greater confidence. At LifeStance Health, Karley works with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, offering individualized care that meets people where they are in their mental health journey.

A central focus of Karley’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She is deeply committed to helping clients transition from acute care back into daily life, emphasizing safety, continuity of care, and practical coping strategies. Karley collaborates closely with clients to reduce the risk of rehospitalization, strengthen emotional regulation, and rebuild routines, relationships, and a sense of control during this critical period of recovery.

Karley also has extensive experience working with adolescents and teens navigating emotional distress, identity development, and behavioral challenges, as well as adults facing relationship concerns and life transitions. She provides affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals and integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR. While these are core modalities, she offers additional therapeutic approaches when clinically appropriate to support long-term healing and growth.

Her therapeutic style is grounded, empathetic, and collaborative, with an emphasis on building insight while developing practical skills clients can use outside of sessions. Karley values inclusivity, autonomy, and resilience, helping clients feel seen and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

Outside of her clinical work, Karley enjoys video games, spending time with friends, and engaging in social advocacy, interests that reflect her values of connection, creativity, and community. She proudly serves clients throughout Indiana and is dedicated to providing thoughtful, high-quality mental health care.
