I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to overcome life's challenges. I tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, and goals, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches while honoring each client's values, culture, and personal beliefs. When requested, I also incorporate Christian principles into therapy to support clients seeking faith-integrated counseling.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to show up as yourself — without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in authenticity, humor, and compassion. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, gently challenged, and empowered to discover solutions that feel meaningful to them.
I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, military families, and individuals navigating grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, and serious mental illness. I have a deep appreciation for helping people move through difficult seasons while building insight, resilience, and self-understanding along the way.
My style blends psychoeducation with practical tools and evidence-based approaches including mindfulness, CBT, narrative therapy, strengths-based and solution-focused therapy, somatic techniques, and play-based interventions when appropriate. Above all, I aim to meet clients where they are and help them move toward growth and healing at their own pace.
Feeling stuck, stressed, or misunderstood? You’re not alone — and support is closer than you think.
I’m Karie, a neurodivergent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor certified in ADHD and autism, and the founder of Imagine Perspectives, a mental health practice established in 2024. I work with children, teens, and adults who are ready to navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, and find practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Since 2012, I’ve also offered adult and pediatric hypnotherapy to help clients achieve emotional balance, clarity, and personal growth.
At Imagine Perspectives, therapy isn’t just about sitting and talking. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. We use interactive tools, games, art, and play to help clients explore challenges in ways that feel natural, engaging, and empowering — meeting each person exactly where they are.
In addition to therapy, we offer one- and two-day interactive workshops for children and adults. These experiences provide a chance to pause, reset, and gain tools that build resilience, spark confidence, and inspire hope — even when life feels overwhelming. They’re practical, fun, and designed to leave participants feeling refreshed and ready to approach life with a new perspective.
Whether you’re here for therapy or a workshop, my goal is the same: to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered. A place where your experiences are honored, your challenges met with compassion, and your strengths celebrated. Because everyone deserves a space to grow, connect, and simply be themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (7+), adults, older adults, families, and couples.
My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and require my clinical expertise. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” to help clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I tailor evidence based interventions to each client’s identities, needs, strengths, and goals. My primary approaches include Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-(EMDRIA certification pending), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems informed interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure based strategies, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. I adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities because therapy should adjust to the person and not require the person to adjust to therapy.
I am continually shaped by the courage, insight, and lived experiences clients bring into our work. Every advanced training, specialty, certification, and state license reflect lessons learned from clients. I carry their trust, stories, and influence into every session with gratitude and responsibility.
