In walking life’s path we can encounter crossroads, or obstacles, which block our ability to see ahead. We might get flooded with anxiety, or bogged down by choice; pausing our journey. One positive way to resume progress is to gain insight into the challenge, and find a next step. Taking that step shifts perspective, enabling the discovery of yet more steps.
We start with brief introductions, then complete a few assessments to aid in identifying possible underlying causes to your challenges. This will help me create a specific plan for us during follow-up sessions.
As a compassionate, trauma-informed listener; I support you in your travels, pointing out observations based on my own life and parenting experiences, and various training and professional degrees.

I chose Karen as my provider several years ago for marriage counseling - and it was luck of the draw. She has since become my personal therapist and an integral part of my escape from abuse, my healing journey, and my path to emotional and physical wellbeing. She is warm, kind and caring, and provides the comfort I need. She's solution oriented and provides tools, methods, podcasts, articles, to help fully round out her treatment plan. She is on a level other therapists should strive for.
