As a licensed therapist in South Carolina & Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My professional approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that addresses a wide range of emotional and psychological experiences. I have extensive expertise in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction.
My practice focuses on supporting individuals through significant life transitions, including relationship challenges, caregiver stress, midlife shifts, and healing from traumatic experiences. I'm particularly committed to working with women, young adults, veterans, and older adults facing unique emotional challenges.
Drawing from a Christian perspective, I offer a supportive environment that honors each person's spiritual journey while providing evidence-based therapeutic strategies. My goal is to help clients develop healthy communication skills, overcome isolation, process feelings of guilt and shame, and cultivate personal growth and resilience.
I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, understanding that healing is a personal and transformative process. Together, we'll work collaboratively to address your specific needs and support your path toward emotional wellness.

She is the best. I’ve only had 2 or 3 sessions with her but she genuinely listens and validates everything I feel and say. She REALLY understands my trauma and helps me work through ways to come to peace with it.

My therapist is a great listener, resourceful and brings humor to intense conversations. Even if she doesn't know the answer to my question, she researches and circles back in a timely manner.

I've had a few sessions with Karen and I'm enjoying my experience with her. She listens to me and responds with kindness. Karen also sends me additional worksheets and education to help. I'm looking forward to speaking with her again.

Karen is a wonderful therapist. I trust her to be able to tell her everything that is going on in my life because she truly listens. I have a bad habit of self sabotaging by trying to skip sessions or go extended period without them and I truly notice a difference in my mental health after talking with her regularly vs trying to skip sessions.

Karen is the best therapist I could have asked for! I am going through so much right now something that most people would not be sympathetic towards. I have never once felt judged by her. She offers me insight that has helped me through my situation and even more than that she listens to me and really connects with me.

Karen is the best! I’ve been meeting with her for a few months and have been so happy with the results. I can tell a big difference between where I started and where I’m at now with my anxiety. She’s so kind and attentive and has provided great exercises and resources to help me out. I’m so thankful for her and I highly recommend her!

I am working through effects of early childhood sexual trauma, addiction, anxiety & depression, and current marriage & teen family issues. Karen has been 100% supportive, is knowledgeable from experience & through her expertise, but most of all she cares. She also offers many effective resources to help with different needs and situations.

She is simply the best she has helped me pick up on things that I wouldn’t have picked up on my own and never judges me. She feels more like a friend than a therapist to me and I look forward to talking to her every week.

Karen is a great listener and is very empathetic in taking in my concerns and responding to them. I love being able to message her between sessions when issues come up and get her responses - I feel like she always has me back. She really understands me and my concerns and has provided me with some great resources to work with offline, too. I enjoy talking with Karen and I feel like we'll be able to work together to work through a lot of my issues.

I appreciate the fact that she has experienced some of the issues that I am having rather than just being knowledgeable through studying them. She listens, and does not judge me at all. I feel as if I can be totally honest with her and she doesn't say negative things.
