Karen is passionate about assisting those who encounter distress living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and other life-impacting difficulties. Many clients who have been in therapy before say they have a different experience with Karen due to her particular approaches.

Karen can provide experiential therapy modalities in addition to talk therapies. She can provide Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as many Jungian modalities, including work in the sand.

Karen received a Doctorate of Social Work from Aurora University. Karen brings training, research, program development, and much clinical experience in trauma work into the space to walk alongside her clients on their journey to a better life.

"Are you living with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress or some other mental health issue? Welcome! I have a passion for bringing healing and improving individual's ability to fully embrace life. I meet each client where they currently are on their journey with unconditional acceptance and no judgement. Then, we will agree on a customized treatment to help you find relief from the challenges you are experiencing."

She offers traditional talk therapy and experiential therapy including EMDR, Gestalt, sandtray, and other modalities. Because trauma does not live in the cognitive part of the brain, talk therapy may not be the only treatment. Karen's treatments focus on reaching the unconscious, where trauma does reside, and bringing enough awareness for healing to occur.
