(she/her)
Hello! I'm Karen Weaver. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been practicing for over 15 years. Life can be challenging at times and we can all benefit from some support. I listen non-judgmentally and provide unbiased feedback to help you determine what needs to change. My focus in working together is to assist you in becoming your best self. That could be anything from managing anxiety and stress better, to overcoming past challenges or getting along better with family or friends. Life can be challenging but we also can find joy and growth in the tough times.
Our first session will help us get to know each other. We will also discuss the challenges you are facing and set some tangible goals to work towards.
Sometimes we repeat the same behaviors over and over again and it isn't helpful. I have helped many people overcome challenges by understanding the origins of their difficulties and learning new tools to overcome the challenges and live their best lives. Often we feel controlled by our negative emotions. I work with you to change this and put you in charge of the emotions.
Life can be difficult at times. Sometimes that shows up as anxiety, depression, conflict with family, stress at work or many other ways. When we feel overwhelmed, sad, anxious, etc, we can feel powerless. We can work together to gain tools and strategies that help empower you to meet those challenges and put you in control of the emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a great resource to explore and observe thought patterns. We can then evaluate which thoughts are fact and which are just thoughts. Then we work to change the ones that are not effective or serving you well.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
You have a lot of strengths. This methodology focuses on how we can utilize your strengths to address the challenges you are facing now.
Psychodynamic
Sometimes our thought/beliefs/ideas originate from past experiences. It's helpful to explore the origin of some of the not helpful thoughts and put them in a different perspective.
