About me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 8 years of experience working in addictions with trauma for both men and women.I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, legal issues, self esteem and personality disorders. I have also helped both men and women who have suffered from physical and emotional abuse. I have worked in both individual and group settings, family and couples counseling.
My treatment approach is person centered, offering an open , compassionate and safe space for my clients to feel comfortable and understood. My belief is that each client is unique and individual therefore my approach to counseling will be built around the needs of my client. I am a warm caring individual who understands that building a trusting foundation is the most important part of the client and counselor relationship. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive processing therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), mindfulness and humanistic therapy.
It takes courage and strength to seek out ways to improve your life and taking the first steps towards change. If you are ready for the first step to a happier life, I am here to support and empower you.

My sessions with Karen have been immensely helpful. She has really helped me reach some personal milestones I have been working towards for a long time. I have had other therapists, and unfortunately, I always felt judged by them and often belittled. None of this with Karen! I feel completely validated through her empathy, honesty and understanding. I am so fortunate Better Help connected us!

Karen is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, shares some of her own experiences to relate and convey messages, and helps me organize my thoughts. She is very skilled at talk therapy and works through all issues in a kind and professional manner. I’ve gained a lot from our sessions and will continue using her.
