About me
Hello. Thank you for visiting my page. I am a licensed independent Social Worker in Ohio and have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work from The University of Cincinnati. I do have special interest in relationship issues, and working with couples, and while this platform does not address marital counseling, many people have issues related to relationships that bring them to counseling, so that area of interest can help me a great deal even with working with individuals. I am currently working on becoming certified as an EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) Therapist, which is a specialized couple's therapy approach. I have 18 years of experience and have worked with those suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders as well as trauma and grief issues.
While all of the education and training is great, I owe credit to life experience and my work with all of my different clients for my knowledge base. I use real life examples to relate to my clients, and I do not mind sharing some of my personal experiences. I am a human and we all have similar needs and emotions, and we should not be ashamed to admit or share them. My sense of humor is something that I value and use in sessions with all of my clients; I am a warm person, but also can be direct and no-nonsense when needed.
I enjoy supporting others in this journey of life. I look forward to meeting you and offering whatever help I can to assist you live your best life.
My live video sessions are limited as I work in a group practice during the week, but I do offer some hours each week for live sessions.

Karen is great and really helped me through a rough time in my life. I highly recommend her council.
Written on Jul 30, 2020 after therapy with Karen for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
Karen continues to be a wonderful counselor. She never rushes me into discovering anything about myself. She reminds me to take my time and let it come naturally. She always checks on me throughout the week. I’ve been kind of distant and she’s been so kind and understand. Not pushing me or giving up on me. I’m so thankful and blessed to have Karen in my life. Thanks BetterHelp.
Written on Jan 17, 2020 after therapy with Karen for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Karen does her best to respond to my needs. My specific needs are kind of out of her expertise range but she is doing her best to accommodate me . She has offered several remedies to my issue of which I will implement as soon as the opportunity presents itself . Mine is a very delicate and sensitive issue which requires candor on both our parts and we have both had rose to the occasion. It is difficult for me to get into details but I have stepped out of my comfort zone and some of the suggestions that Karen has given me will help.
