Karen is a graduate of the Laurentian University Social Work Program (Honours) and is trained in providing individual and group psychotherapy specific to trauma, addictions (substances and behavioural), mental health, suicide prevention, and concurrent disorders to an adult client group. With over 30 years experience, she employs several therapy modalities to help you reach your personal wellness goals. From her own lived experience and countless interactions with clients, Karen believes that healing is a “whole person” process that includes identifying and addressing root causes, incorporating spiritual connections and mindfulness, and embracing each individual’s strengths and abilities. Karen is honoured to join her clients as they navigate their path to wellness, celebrating their growth along the way. Within her practice, she focuses on mood regulation, emotional intelligence, trigger identification and navigation, and developing transitional pathways. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, shame, grief and loss, anger, or a sense of disconnection and isolation, she approaches your journey as a partner in your growth, providing a space where you can feel seen, heard, accepted and validated. Outside her professional world, she enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, working with her dog (a gregarious golden doodle pup with sassiness), and exploring thrift shops and yard sales for treasures for her home. Karen practices mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and grounding every day and enjoy sharing these experiences and practices with others. Karen look forward to exploring and creating a connection with new clients.
