Hi! I am Karin, a Licensed Therapist in Pennsylvania. This has been my life long dream, to be a counselor. When other kids were playing house or school, I was playing psychiatrist - though I am sure I didn't know how to spell it then! I used to write letters to my cousins that read more like a Dear Abby advice columnist than a kid's communication with their bestie. I poured over advice columns in teen magazines like, "was my face red..." and never cared about the current fashions as much as "could this marriage be save?"! So here I am, years later, living out my passion and realizing that I don't have the advice, nor do I want to! But that I have a listening spirit and clinical skill that can be of help to anyone that needs it. I lean toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but simply put, that means that there is a connection between what you think and then how you feel. So if you don't like how you feel, we look at what you are saying to yourself and if that is helping you to feel the way you want to feel or not! Pretty simple really. I want to help people feel as good as they possibly can right now... with the circumstances they have and with the past they have lived through. And it is possible to have lived through some really bad things and still have peace and serenity in your life. If you are not convinced, that could be a good reason why you need to work with me. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Karin has a talent for making me feel listened to even when I know I am rambling, then pulling out the thing I am sensitive about that I was trying to hide. Skilled advice for regulation, overwhelm, guilt/shame.

Karin is amazing! After months of searching for a local therapist that was a good fit for me and didn’t have a waitlist, I tried BetterHelp. I appreciated how they asked questions to find a therapist that was a good match for me. Karin’s personality and approach makes me feel comfortable. She listens and respects my feelings. Karin offers helpful suggestions and coping techniques on “how” to handle current issues. We also discuss my past which helps us understand “what” and “why” some things are triggers for me. This has been extremely beneficial in better understanding myself and my feelings. I have made more progress in my initial sessions with Karin than in several months or years with previous therapists. I’m excited to continue my healing journey. Thank you BetterHelp and Karin!

Karin is incredibly kind, supportive, and good at what she does! I was nervous when I decided to begin therapy but she let me share at my own pace and helped me to feel at ease right away.

Karin is the first therapist that I've ever had that i didnt feel judged, or like I was an inconvenience. She really listens to me, she offers both, advice and solutions. She always makes me feel like I can handle whatever my issue is, and she teaches me how to do that.
