Individuals in transition, working or retired who seek coaching with Karen aren’t living their potential or optimizing innate gifts, talents or skills. They’re wanting life balance, financial freedom and better relationships. Despite achievements, they feel unfulfilled; a lack of purpose; short on “me time” or worst of all, find themselves dissatisfied and overwhelmed thinking about work when with family, then thinking about family during work. Karen’s Solution Focused approach and diverse training in Mindfulness, NLP, and EFT provides opportunities, tools and techniques to overcome limits, blind-spots, challenges and obstacles.

Of course, sometimes life can be difficult. And sometimes life has been difficult all along, for some of us. Psychotherapy has the potential to not only address the difficulties that we experience, but also has the potential to help us find a way to integrate healing so that we may experience joy and vitality again - or maybe even for the first time. I am happy to work with individuals, families and couples who are interested in exploring and understanding how they may be able to heal wounds, create stability and forge new and meaningful paths and/or relationships in their lives.

Yes, you have strengths. When you feel anxious, depressed, traumatized, or overwhelmed in general, it is easy to forget about your natural strengths and capabilities. You come to therapy for several reasons. You want to identify a specific goal and make measurable progress towards that goal, and you want to use this safe space to unpack your thoughts and feelings, to know you are heard, not judged or criticized. From this experience your mood can improve, your coping capacity can deepen, and your confidence can increase. When we work together to identify your strengths you will move forward with clarity and in a positive direction.

You feel in many ways lost as an individual, lost in your relationship, lost at work or that life's expectations are going to break you.

Do you feel like you forgot who you once were? Maybe you find yourself frequently conforming to other's expectations leaving you stuck and unsure of your own self identify. Do you feel guilty or ashamed because you are not living up to the image you once had in your mind as to what your life "should" look like?

Diversity and multicultural issues are embedded in everything we do and contribute to presenting problems. I am conscious of varying decision-making preferences, the role of family dynamics, stages of life, socioeconomic status, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. As well as the stigma associated with seeking mental health services.

I am also passionate about working with women on maternal wellness and motherhood struggles. I have completed specialized perinatal training through PSI and offer video sessions, which many of my mothers find convenient when juggling family and/or work. Please know that you are not alone. Therapy can help to release that “heaviness” you are carrying around.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
