After 4 weeks with Karen, I can say she has been great for me. She is direct which I prefer, but also understanding and has been able to shed so much light on different things. Some things I was not even aware of!

After my first session with Kanre, I knew we would have a great working relationship.
Her presence is calming and supportive. She creates a nurturing environment to express your most honest and authentic self - no matter how vulnerable you feel. I am so thankful I got paired with her as my therapist. She is genuine and honest and shares an enlightening perspective about whatever you may be facing.
I cannot recommend her enough.
