Hi! I'm Karen and I'm so happy that you've gained the courage to ask for help! I've been a counselor for 18 years, and have worked with a broad range of clients. My style is casual, but I really like to focus on problem solving. My hope is that you'll come out of your first session with a couple of tools that, if you apply them, will help relieve the problem. During every session, we build onto the foundation we've laid, increasing your tools and addressing any new issues. I'm a great listener, and am able to tease out things that might guide you to relief. Counseling is a great tool, but its a two way street - you'll have some homework and activities to do between sessions, and it's important that you fully engage in your healing. I have expertise with Military - active duty or veterans and have worked with Regular and SOF troops, spouses and families. I believe in empowerment for my clients, and my hope is that through our work together, you can heal and move through your problems with strength, integrity and grace.

I support people in healing, growing and developing the skills, motivation, and capacity to overcome their obstacles.

My approach is positive and hopeful while realistic, and client focused and directed. My approach is informed by Jungian perspectives, as well as cognitive behavioral approaches. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. I live in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Theorists and clinicians who inform my work include Carl Rodgers, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Jacques Lacan, and Bracha Ettinger. I hold faith in the fact that we continue to grow heal and develop throughout the life span, and that each age and stage presents challenges and can also add richness and meaning to our life experiences. I feel passionate about the therapeutic encounter and the possibilities for healing and transformation. I bring this philosophy and clinical lens to our work together in areas ranging from trauma recovery to addiction recovery to grief and loss work, and related issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, loneliness, and life stage challenges, including overwhelming parenting or caregiving stresses and dilemmas. Attending to emotion and the psychological experience can often help create a shift in situations or difficulties that have felt stuck and stagnant for years or decades. My approach is friendly, positive, thorough and practical. In a field that emphasizes the individual, I acknowledge the importance of systemic factors, including notably income inequality, and inequality based on sex and racialization that impact our experiences and mental health, as a factor in making decisions in our lives for our healing and wellness.

I am a clinical counselor, specializing in trauma and addiction. I have 25 years of experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, verbal/emotional/physical/sexual abuse, and psychotic disorders. My approach mirrors that of Thomas Szasz, MD, as he wrote in The Healing Word: Its Past, Present, and Future: "Mental illness and psychotherapy are fictions. Neither exists. Only the patient, the therapist, and a particular relationship between them exist. Both participants are responsible moral agents. Each is existentially equal to the other, each influences the other, and each is responsible for his or her behavior. The therapist can neither cure the patient not make him or her sick. However, the patient can do both of these things -- for or to himself or herself-- by making use of the therapist's helping or harming words (Bohart & Talman, 1996)." ... The expert's role is to engage the clients in a process of searching self-examination, with the aim of enabling them, if they so choose, to become more free and more responsible.

I am licensed in New Mexico as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) since 2000. I graduated from University of the Southwest with a Master’s Degree in Psychology. I have worked in the school system, hospitals/ER, school base clinic, outpatient mental health clinic, private practice, as well as detention facilities, Children’s Youth & Family Department (CYFD), and with local law enforcement. I am excited to be a part of the new approach of telehealth counseling to reach people who may be hesitant to seek out the power of therapy! My primary therapy orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, poor emotional regulation, anxiety, parental difficulties, PTSD, substance abuse, grief, stress, anger, and domestic violence. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is interactive and focused. CBT entails that people experience psychological and emotional difficulties when thinking is distorted and the result leads to faulty solutions. I will challenge your thinking patterns so you are able to create a solution that will allow you to address the current problems that are causing you distress. Self-awareness is the first step to change and I will work with you to accomplish that. Sessions will evolve at your pace, but with my gentle guidance to help you obtain your goals. CBT allows for using multiple strategies and interventions that can be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out guidance and help for inner, personal feelings. Life can be fulfilling and happy. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
