I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with a wide variety of people and concerns. I have experience in working with depression, anxiety and relationship challenges. I have significant experience working with clients who experienced trauma or emotional abuse as children.
My therapy style is collaborative and client centered. I believe each person is unique and has their own story, their own challenges and their own needs. I approach therapy from a humanistic perspective and use a variety of methods to help my clients. I have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I am open to working with my clients using the tools and methods they find most useful.
I enjoy collaborating with my clients to help them find solutions to challenges, improve their well-being and support them in their journey.

She is my first ever therapist, but dare I say, a very damn good one. Karen is an amazing listener who pays very good attention to everything I tell her. She helps me identify what's good or bad for me when I'm not sure of it. Always validates my progress towards healing and becoming a better person.

Karen has been very helpful in dealing with my anxiety and work issues along with every other problem in my life! She is very empathetic and non-judgemental and is always happy to help me find what to say when I don't know what to talk about.

I've had such a good, positive and healing experience with Karen (and already in such a short space of time!)
And I feel so glad and privileged to be able to get help from her and on betterhelp.
I want to continue my health journey with Karen - and she's already helped put me towards a better track.
She is really respectful, kind, understanding, smart and honest - and also socially conscious - which I really need in a therapist.
She is on track to become the best therapist I've ever had (and I look forward to continue with her, for hopefully a long time).
Thank you Karen - who is (which she said herself too) not at all like the current stereotypes of Karens (which I asked her thoughts on about haha - she also has a nice sense of humour).
I highly reccommend Karen, she has Care/Caring in her name - and that is what is true.

I have been working with Karen for over a month now, and I feel really good about what I've been able to share and unpack so far. Karen is a true professional - she is a great listener, very empathetic, and remembers what I've spoken about in past sessions which means a lot. I feel like I got really lucky being matched with Karen.
