LEARN MORE ABOUT ME
COMPASSIONATE, NON-JUDGMENTAL COUNSELING
I am a social worker with more than 20 years of clinical experience as a therapeutic counselor, working with adults, couples, adolescents and elders. My own life experiences, training and passion for helping others enables me to understand how our life experiences can cause us pain and confusion, and allow me to help you.
INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
Together we can work towards your healing and happiness.
Sometimes life gets hard. Our life experiences can cause us pain and confusion.
We don’t know how to feel better or how to positively change the future.
We may know what we want, but not how to get there.
SPECIALIZING IN TRAUMA AND ANXIETY
Trauma symptoms can develop after experiencing a significant traumatic event or injury, either by direct experience, witnessing the event, hearing about a friend or love one’s experiencing an event. Sometimes symptoms can involve insomnia, angry outbursts or aggression, irritability, upsetting unwanted memories or dreams, flashbacks of the event, and physical reminders of the event. Trauma can cause someone to be easily startled, hypervigilant and have negative thoughts about self and the world.
I can offer a safe, compassionate and supportive environment where healing can take place. I use a number of techniques to develop with you a personalized plan that’s tailored to your needs. We can also include holistic methods to augment your healing. Also specializing in Depression, Bipolar Depression, panic attacks, PTSD, eating disorders and life transitions. LGBTQ friendly
ALTERNATIVE AND HOLISTIC METHODS
Recent research has determined that many types of alternative or holistic methods of healing can be as effective as traditional methods of counseling. Many people like to include these methods, either alone or with more traditional types of counseling to allow individuals to access their own innate healing abilities and release longstanding issues.
I am trained in guided meditation, mindfulness techniques, emotional freedom techniques (tapping), Reiki, grounding techniques, gentle reprocessing. You can ask about other holistic healing methods and tools.

She was there through the worst time of my life. i recommend her to anyone. Even though i moved i can still call her and talk to her to help me through it. Even though i wanted to take her with me cause i don't like change but she helped me through it.
Maegen Eckstein
Karen's approach is solution-focused. She is great at looking at a situation, honing in on the problem and together figuring out right then and there the action steps to take immediately. She has a great attitude and goes above and beyond.
