(she/her)
Hello! Thank you for reading my profile. My name is Karen (She/Her) and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have been in private practice since May, 2018. I enjoy working with adults (18+) who need a helping hand in guiding their lives to the fullest. I use a variety of modalities in creating a care plan that is designed specifically for you. I enjoy working with You as a TEAM, not with me as the director. I'm also an avid animal lover and currently provide a loving home to 4 parrots and a senior Cocker Spaniel.
After our sessions, it is my hope that you feel heard and cared about, and that I've begun giving you the tools necessary to work on whatever problems or dilemmas you are going through. Together we will work towards your goals ...
I'm an eclectic therapist, which means that I use pieces and parts of different treatment modalities that I think will be the most helpful. I focus a lot on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and mindfulness techniques. I use a person centered, strength based approach.
I work best with people who have depression and anxiety, as well as acute and chronic illnesses, grief and loss, life transitions and the LGBTQAI+ communities. I also have experience assisting transgender persons and consider myself a strong ally.
