Karen uses her extensive experience, intuition and creativity to teach resilience, effective boundary setting, proactive problem-solving, setting goals based on values while supporting you to overcome obstacles, raise self esteem, harness innate talents & develop a personal strategy to optimize potential & empower you to finally take charge of your life.

Karen's coaching compliments therapy while promoting balance & holistic development. She helps professionals who despite achievements & years of working on themselves, still lack life balance, financial freedom, good health, happy relationships & still feel unfulfilled. Worst of all, they find themselves without purpose, dissatisfied, overwhelmed & short on “me time”. Coaching with Karen is a journey which addresses all aspects of life for individuals who are in transition, working, or retired but want more.

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.

Serious Inquiries Only… Life, at times can make us feel overwhelmed, lost and stuck. When we experience traumatic and life changing events the feeling of survival can take over our ability to " live in the moment". By impacting our view on life and identity. The residue that trauma leaves on our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual state can make it difficult to navigate daily. I believe in providing guidance and support to help unlearn false beliefs, self- sabotaging behaviors and patterns to create healthier relationships and live in your authentic truth.

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and, most importantly, heard. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life’s demands and feel like no one is on your side. Depression, anxiety, and stress can make us feel as if there is nowhere else to go. Or we develop coping methods that are not aligned with our life goals. If pouring from an empty cup is no longer an option for you, then I commend you for taking the first step towards your new journey.

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.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
