Karen is extremely helpful, she listens and suggests materials that can help with what I am going through. She is very knowledgeable and makes me feel very comfortable sharing my issues.

Excellent. Easy to talk to, kind, relatable, and empathetic without being coddling (which is exactly what I need and respond to best). She has provided me with several useful tools to combat my anxiety. Very knowledgeable and accessible. You can tell she really cares.

I feel very supported by Karen. She helps me see different perspectives, but helps me focus on reality using quotes, real experiences, and statistics. I appreciate our time, and it truly has helped me overcome adversity.

In the few weeks I have spoke with Karen, she’s given me great tools to help me look deeper into myself and I have an optimistic outlook on my journey continuing to talk to her. She is kind and caring, listens, and gives great advice.

I really enjoy and appreciate Karen’s gentleness and wisdom! Every session I walk away feeling a little sore from my personal healing but also encouraged and stronger from what Karen walked me through!

I’ve only briefly worked with a few other therapists, but Karen has been by far the most professional, knowledge-rich, comfortable, communicative therapy experience. I have no idea how she interacts with other clients, but our interactions feel very tailored to me. She created a great foundation for our communication by identifying how I give and receive information best, and it’s allowed the sessions to feel very productive. She has a plethora of resources, articles, and insights to offer that give me confidence in her expertise and allow me to understand my own mind and experience at a higher level. I’m also very reassured that she is “up to date” with new mental health data, research, and practice, and as a young woman in a world with experience and influence from the modern world, that is so very important! I’ve had therapists try to diagnose (or not diagnose) me by filling in generalized work sheets and checking boxes, and those methods often fail miserably when paired with my less conventional life experience. When I talk with Karen, I know she is taking the full scope of information I’ve given her to come to educated conclusions, and I trust that she’ll continue to adjust and add to her perception of me as I share with her further. I’m not sure what I expected before my first session with Karen, but I know she has exceeded my expectations in ways that I didn’t even know would be beneficial. If I could make any adjustments in therapy, I would simply increase my time with her. If you’re in search of a knowledgeable, empathetic, comfortable therapy experience, absolutely give Karen a try. If she’s not the right fit for you, she’ll be happy to help you identify what you may be looking for in a therapist/in your sessions; and that in itself is a service.
