Hi there, I'm Karen!

Are you experiencing debilitating stress and anxiety? Feeling stuck and unable to move toward fulfillment? Together, we'll examine communication patterns contributing to your concerns. I use Attachment Relational Therapy to help you tackle difficult problems in a safe environment and gain the peace of mind you're striving for.

My focus

I work with individuals facing work-related problems, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I have a special interest in helping adults on the autism spectrum learn to express feelings, manage anger, and navigate social situations more successfully.

My approach

My approach is psychodynamic, informed by systems, attachment, and cognitive behavioral theories. This combination helps you understand patterns, build healthier relationships, and develop practical strategies for managing difficult emotions and situations in a supportive, collaborative environment.

My communication style

I create an open, inviting environment where you feel comfortable exploring all aspects of your life. I'm interactive during sessions, engaging actively with you as we work together toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I transitioned from organizational work helping managers improve their leadership to becoming a therapist because I wanted a deeper, individual impact. My background in both business and psychology informs how I understand workplace dynamics and personal relationships.

My goals for you

I ask about your therapy goals in our first session so we're on the same page about what you want to work on. As therapy progresses, we can adjust and refine these goals together as needed.

Our first session

In our first session, I focus on building rapport so you feel comfortable exploring your goals. Together, we'll discuss your history and what brings you to therapy, creating a foundation for our work together.
