About Karen

I enjoy helping people from different social and cultural backgrounds. In therapy, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, empathetic, and supportive space for you to be able to freely express yourself and process your thoughts and feelings. We will find ways to help you achieve healing and recovery. Sometimes this may involve processing past traumatic hurts and emotional wounds. It may also involve developing new skills and coping strategies that would enable you to handle any present or future challenges with confidence. It is my hope that through the therapy process, you will become a new you with greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and the ability to live life to the fullest potential. Some of the issues I work with are stress and trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, premarital and couples, relationship issues, family of origin issues, and life transitions.

Endorsement
