Karyn is so kind, understanding and empathetic. I truly feel like she hears me, asks thought provoking questions and gives me actionable steps to work towards my goals. I am so glad I was paired with her!

Karyn is fantastic. Helped me learn a lot about myself. She used a very cognitive learning approach that allowed me to grow as a person and to recognize toxic behaviors and impulses in myself. Highly recommend.

I appreciate that Karyn was able to so quickly perceive my needs and each session is able to guide me in meeting them. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to relate to a therapist I hadn’t met in person but I was immediately comfortable with Karyn.
