Hi there, I'm Karen!

Aside from my specialty and expertise in trauma work, I am well versed in working with individuals needing support with issues arising from lack of self esteem or a strong sense of identity, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and substance misuse

My approach

CBT (Emphasizes what people think rather than what they do) Humanistic (Emphasizes people's capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential) Client-Centered (Focuses on a client's innate goodness and uses a nondirective style of interaction) Reality Therapy (Emphasizes on present behavior and actions aren't influenced by the past) Positive Psychology (Focuses on a client's strengths and positive aspects to help them improve their mental health and personal growth)

My focus

I work with a variety of clients from those who may be reluctant about therapy, to clients in urgent need to traditional clients seeking support.

My communication style

Through motivational interviewing and reflective listening, I try to create a space where the client is feels comfortable, safe, and supported
