Introduction

Hi! I'm Karla, a pediatric speech-language pathologist based in Long Beach, CA. I specialize in providing individualized, strengths-based therapy for neurodivergent children. With a passion for fostering communication skills in a supportive and engaging environment, I tailor my approach to each child's unique needs, helping them build confidence and connection through meaningful interactions. My goal is to empower children and their families by enhancing speech, language, and social communication skills, ensuring they feel understood and valued in every aspect of their lives. When I'm not in therapy sessions, I'm usually with my dog, Leia and spending time with my family.

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Compassionate
Passionate
Playful
Compassionate: I deeply care about the children and families I work with, always striving to create a safe and supportive space where they feel understood and valued. Passionate: I genuinely love helping children grow in their communication skills, advocate for their needs, and celebrate their progress, no matter how big or small. Playful: I use creativity, humor, and child-led activities to foster a natural and enjoyable learning experience. By incorporating play into sessions, I help children feel comfortable, motivated, and excited to communicate, ensuring that therapy is not only effective but also a joyful part of their day.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

I am best positioned to serve neurodivergent children who benefit from a strengths-based, compassionate, and playful approach to speech therapy. My expertise makes me an excellent fit for children who need support with social communication, expressive and receptive language, articulation, and self-advocacy. My playful and engaging style makes me especially effective for children who learn best through movement, creativity, and connection.

    Beaming Review

    Karla is very thorough in everything she does. She is great at report writing and worked with families to make sure that things would carry over at home. She was very positive and always coming up with new ideas to better serve families. Oh - and she LOVES the color pink!
