About
Karen
I believe good therapy begins with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person's unique experience. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people have an inherent capacity for growth and change. I enjoy helping clients move beyond familiar patterns, explore deeper questions about their lives, and discover new possibilities without imposing my own beliefs or assumptions.
Outside of my work, I'm a lifelong dancer, writer, and lover of the Arts. I enjoy poetry, music, contemplative practices, spending time in nature, and exploring the deeper mysteries of being human. My husband and I love discovering new places, and I find that creativity, movement, and a sense of wonder keep life interesting.
