About me

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience, I've observed how childhood trauma can develop coping mechanisms that may become dysfunctional and evolve into such things as depression, anxiety, codependency, problematic work relationships, substance use, and even addictive patterns of behavior that serve to dull and impair one's ability to express their needs.
As you enter into therapy with me, I believe you will find someone who listens intently, paying attention to not only what you say but also to the underlying emotions and patterns of which you may not be aware .I I will respond with compassion, honesty and at times humor and odd ball references to music, books, sit-coms and movies ( I tend to lean toward fantasy and sci fi, just for the record).
I hope to help you find what you have been missing. You bring the flashlight, I will bring the map. I think it will be an awesome journey.

Karen understands me and is wonderful at helping guide me. I like how she asks questions that lead me to understand myself better. I love the way she knows when a subject is too much for me to handle at the moment and is able to calm me.

Karen has been a wonderful source of support as well as someone who challenges me to really get outside of the rut I had found myself in. We have great rapport and in sessions with her, I feel both safe and upheld and listened to.

She is the therapist I need. She can so easily get to the root of what is wrong and help you get those passkey weeds growing in your mind. I could not recommend her more highly.
