Hello, my name is Karen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Many of us have a story that has affected us in some way, And I believe that every story should be treated with great importance. Life is a journey and you are in control of your destination. I would like to offer assistance with helping you explore solutions that can help with guiding you towards your goals. My career began as a Case Manager for different non-profit agencies. I spent approximately 6 years working within the community helping individuals live better lives by assisting them with navigating through entitlement programs and providing additional support. From there I transitioned into a Therapist role and have been working in this profession for the past 5 years. I continue to work with many different populations, gaining their trust at most critical times so that I am able to provide support and guidance. The main reason I became a Therapist is because of the passion I have held onto for many years. That passion includes a strong desire for people to have the opportunity to work through unfortunate struggles and situations, to living happy and healthier lives. I've always believed that with a little help and guidance, and with opportunity, we can work together to achieving happiness and a well-balanced life. I currently work with adults as well as couples. I have experience working within criminal justice, drug and alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other mental health diagnosis such as bipolar disorder, explosive disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and other mental health symptoms making it difficult to function on a daily basis. Openings for virtual appointments are currently available and can be made from this page.
