Great to meet you!

I’m Karen. No, no...not that kind of Karen who wants to speak to the manager. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) but you might also call me a guide in helping those to slow down enough to maybe even learn to laugh at themselves.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of techniques found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy. I customize the before-mentioned techniques based upon the needs of my client. These techniques, when practiced regularly, aid in discovering that they can be free from their self-criticizing thoughts and reveal a new empowerment to apply to their everyday lives. And by-the-way, laughter often finds its way into our sessions.

What you can expect from me

I am blessed to be able to come alongside adolescents (both guys and gals to age 22) as well as men and women who are struggling with issues of anxiety and fear and help them to discover the root cause and experience clarity and confidence in moving forward. I love helping people discover or renew their passion in life by breaking down invisible prisons that keep them captive due to self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. Let's get started!
