Karen is passionate about helping adults of all ages and backgrounds feel supported, confident, and comfortable as they journey toward becoming happier, healthier, and more successful. A strength-based approach supports individuals in their journey to embracing their authentic selves with love and compassion. It assists them in focusing more on internal strengths and resourcefulness. This sets up a positive mindset that builds on best qualities and improves resilience.

Karen was drawn to the field of counseling after seeking counseling herself in her journey toward becoming who she was meant to be. She saw the benefits in her own life and developed a deep desire to share that with others. Anyone who is committed to honesty and hard work will reap the rewards of counseling.

Karen lives with her husband, who is retired, and their two shih tzus, Macie and Gracie. She loves meditation and begins her day by writing a gratitude list. She enjoys traveling, hiking, biking, and has just begun to explore yoga.
