Karen is a great balance for me, and has a way of simplifying things that makes sense for my various issues. Grateful to have found her here, and will be continuing sessions.

Karen has done a great job of establishing a foundation for us to work from. She made it very easy for me to open up by being a real person and understanding what my underlying issues are. She does a great job of keeping my thoughts on track.

Karen is pretty awesome. She helps support what's going on while holding me accountable if I done something wrong. Would highly recommend if you need therapy
