About me

I’ve been a somatic trauma therapist for over 17 years. I believe healing can only happen interpersonally. I’ve worked mostly with the LGBTQ+ community, but straights are welcome ;) Body/Mind facilitation to holistically release effects of systemic trauma in the body and thought patterning, rewire neural pathways to create positive subconscious programming, release effects of pandemic isolation and retrain body/mind to access deeper forms of trust/intimacy

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We start with what you need help with in the here and now. I believe it can cause harm to dive into your life history too soon. We work at connecting, resourcing, and helping you get necessary tools/awareness to make your present life more manageable to start.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I’m a love warrior. I’m funny and direct. I believe the best work is done when we allow to bring our full selves. I engage in generative conflict, repair, and interdependent accountability.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My approach allows for all parts of the self (especially ones that are unwelcome in most spaces—rage, shame, fear, scarcity, and guilt) to be released, witnessed, and integrated/transitioned into a sense of liberated, authentic wholeness Explore full authentic self expression including gender expression, external movement, aesthetics, and internal identity: values, beliefs) Release body shame (from verbal/physical/societal harm) Individual and collective sessions

Karen was very relatable and easy to talk to. She asked good questions and left me with some practical things to use.
