About Us

Karen loves working with adults to help them find solutions to problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, anger, bi-polar, and trauma. She brings an eclectic approach to therapy that is grounded upon evidenced-based principles that help clients to find workable solutions from their own insights, reflections, and every-day practices. Karen is certified in Traumatic Stress through the Trauma Research Foundation, led by Bessel van der Kolk (“The Body Keeps the Score”). She is a fan of Peter Levine, founder of “somatic experiencing” (clients seek relief from the past through compassionate care and by listening to their bodies). , “Weeping is for a night but joy comes in the morning.” Karen’s goal is to share evidenced-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Techniques that help clients address anxiety, depression, anger, bi-polar, trauma, and grief. To search for joy! With a PhD in Religion, she offers spiritual- and Christian-based therapy when requested. , As Levine proposes, a compassionate listener and observer is essential to help clients hear their own bodies speak to them as they address their mental health challenges. Karen takes this challenge seriously, encouraging clients to use evidenced-based methods to create new ways of thinking, being, and doing.
