About

Hello, I'm Karen! I am a warm and friendly person who really loves connecting with others in a way that is helpful. I've been working as a counselor, social worker, and therapist for twenty-five years and I still love my profession. People are fascinating and every story is different. But certain themes are familiar and I have a wide range of knowledge to help people achieve the growth and healing they desire. For twenty years I worked with young people and parents as a school counselor, while seeing adults and couples in my part-time private practice. I am experienced in supporting people with family, school, and relationship concerns, mood, and adjustment issues, as well as the deep healing that many people seek throughout life. I create a comfortable and safe space, in-person and virtually so that my clients can benefit fully from every session. I believe in the power of deep listening and connection. I strive to understand my client's stories through their perspective, while we find the underlying causes of their current challenges. I believe in providing strategies to manage symptoms as well as finding the roots of those symptoms and effective treatments for them. I work a lot with the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as the influence of our nervous systems on each of those. Some of my specialty areas include ADHD, Autism, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
