Karen has been helping me through a very hard time. I can rely on her so much and if I message her she responds within 24 hours. I feel so blessed to have her as a therapist.

Karen is incredibly in-tune to my needs and how therapy can best help me. Although I pride myself on my self-awareness, she challenges me to be insightful in ways I’ve never thought of before. She is incredibly welcoming and doesn’t waste a minute of time in our sessions. I can’t recommend her enough!
