Getting to know Karen

I am a Spiritual-based, Licensed Professional Counselor & Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have an Ed.D. in Community Care Counseling: Traumatology and a M.S. in Mental Health Counseling.  If you are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, feelings of hopelessness &/or lack of faith, anger, domestic violence/sexual abuse, mental & verbal abuse, and/or spiritual abuse, if you are a victim of human or sex trafficking, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts &/or self-injurious behaviors, and you need guidance in 'transitioning your thoughts, behaviors, and way of living' because the way you have been living is draining you of substance (literally, financially, mentally & spiritually) - I can help! It's NOT over! Let me Empower you to your Next Evolution!

Style and Approach

I offer inspirations and empowerment to evolve into a healthier version of yourself - body, mind, soul and spirit. This is done by introducing you to Healthier Perspectives (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Trauma-Focused CBT), Healthier Solutions (Solution-Focused Therapy), Challenging Irrational Thinking Habits (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy) and assisting you in building on your individual strengths (emotionally, mentally & spiritually).

I am passionate about 'Empowering' others 'body, mind, soul & spirit'. I bring professional and personal experience and meet you exactly where you are at. You do not have to do this alone - allow me to push you to your next evolution!
