Meet Karen...
Lighthouse-in-the-Storm Therapist | Calmer for the Chaos-Enhanced
🪞 If you’re the person everyone else leans on, but you secretly feel like you’re hanging on by a thread yourself, Karen gets it.
She works with adults who are carrying a lot — anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic pain, relationship stress, parenting overwhelm, or that exhausting feeling of looking “fine” on the outside while quietly struggling underneath.
Karen has a way of helping people slow down, exhale, and realize they don’t have to keep white-knuckling their way through life alone.
💁♀️ Why Therapy?
Karen became a therapist because she has always been drawn to caring for others — as a kid, she wanted to be a veterinarian because helping and protecting felt instinctive to her from the very beginning. Over the years, life gave her plenty of opportunities to deepen that compassion: raising two teenagers, navigating significant health challenges, building a home with her husband from the ground up, and learning firsthand that resilience is rarely neat and tidy. She knows what it’s like to hold it together for everyone else while quietly carrying a lot yourself.
💬 What Therapy With Karen Feels Like
Today, Karen brings that same warmth, steadiness, and lived understanding into her therapy work. Her style is trauma-informed, nervous system-aware, and deeply compassionate. She blends approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, CPT, and relational therapy, but never in a way that feels stiff or clinical. Karen’s approach is collaborative, grounded, and paced around what feels safe and manageable for you. She has a particular soft spot for high-functioning people who look like they’ve got it all together, but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves.
She works especially well with adults navigating:
burnout,
relationship challenges,
chronic illness or pain,
parenting stress,
OCD,
postpartum struggles, and
major life transitions.
🐶 A Bit More About Me 🥔
Karen is often described as the “least-Karen Karen you’ll ever meet.” Let us assure you, that's an apt descriptor!
She’s a wife, a mom to two teens, and proud owner of a couch-potato yellow lab named Vinny. She loves quiet mornings on the porch, warm blankets, nostalgic music, windows-down drives, and laughing until she cries. She’s lived in Australia, travelled all over the world, can whistle one-handed like a trucker, and firmly believes breakfast foods should be eaten at absolutely any time of day. Also: coffee until noon, tea after that. It’s a system.
