I specialize in Christian therapy and integrating Biblical principles with psychological interventions. This psycho-social-spiritual approach addresses the whole person and helps with a variety of mental health issues.

When my partner and I started therapy, our relationship was very rocky. We ended up getting pregnant, which wasn’t planned, at a very young age (18 and 19). Starting therapy saved our relationship and has been helping us navigate being so young with a great responsibility and the responsibility to each other. Our relationship has grown so much in just the past four months that it’s hard to believe how rocky we used to be. Pamela Rice is an extremely talented therapist and you couldn’t ask for a better one. Both my partner and I have had separate therapists and they can’t even compare.

My therapeutic approach is Trauma-Informed, Client-Centered, Holistic, and Strength-based. I work with adults navigating adjustment periods, trauma-related symptoms, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.

Life's been a journey, and my childhood trauma made it a struggle. I am grateful that I attended college, where good friends helped me find my voice. But my childhood stuff lingered, it made it difficult to express myself. That's where Karen Briceno came in. She's been a game-changer, helping me untangle my thoughts and face things head-on. With her, I've figured out what's been bothering me and how to handle different situations. She has a uniquely creative way of approaching things, and I feel that it's been easier to communicate with others. Karen's helped me express myself better and set boundaries—things I never thought I could do. She just gets me and life's been way better since we started our conversations. Thank you, Karen.
