Hello! I am Karen. In my practice, I specialize in addressing the nuanced challenges of complex childhood trauma, perinatal mood/anxiety disorders, and eating disorders. Together, we will embark on a collaborative journey, delving into the roots of your experiences. This process fosters resilience, guiding you towards a life marked by balance, self-compassion, and overall well-being. Throughout our work together, you'll find unwavering support, knowing that your unique path is met with care and understanding. I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own life, and you possess the innate capacity to effect meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This blend of methodologies allows me to honor your individuality while helping you explore the intricacies of your internal world. Together, we'll navigate the depths of your experiences, fostering a deep sense of understanding, acceptance, and empowerment.
Step into a safe, compassionate space for transformative self-discovery and happiness. If you're ready to enter your path of self-discovery, resilience, and growth, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we will create a nurturing space where your healing journey can flourish.
