About me

Hi! I'm Karen and I'm so happy that you've gained the courage to ask for help! I've been a counselor for 18 years, and have worked with a broad range of clients. My style is casual, but I really like to focus on problem solving. My hope is that you'll come out of your first session with a couple of tools that, if you apply them, will help relieve the problem. During every session, we build onto the foundation we've laid, increasing your tools and addressing any new issues. I'm a great listener, and am able to tease out things that might guide you to relief. Counseling is a great tool, but its a two way street - you'll have some homework and activities to do between sessions, and it's important that you fully engage in your healing. I have expertise with Military - active duty or veterans and have worked with Regular and SOF troops, spouses and families. I believe in empowerment for my clients, and my hope is that through our work together, you can heal and move through your problems with strength, integrity and grace.

Amazing woman. I trust her and she’s like a walking super hero.

Karen has taken me from being a suicidal patient with no confidence to a competent, independent person with a toolbox full of tactics to tackle every challenge that comes my way. Her laid-back demeanor sets me at ease, yet she takes my issues seriously. It helps that Karen is a kindred spirit to me: she loves to travel, lives simply, and isn't opposed to moving across the country on a whim. I would highly recommend Karen to any one of my friends!

Karen is personable and a great listener. She knows when to prompt me for more information and helps open my mind to different possibilities within the issues Im facing and challenges me to do better and pursue my goals. She offers me support where and when I need it and I appreciate her time and expertise so much! Love working with Karen!

Only have a couple of weeks talking to Karen. What a relief, she listens, holds me accountable, and is always willing to give a helpful, noncritical feedback about some of my bad habits, relationships, friendships, anger.
