She draws on a lifetime of caregiving and life change, including a long nursing career and personal experience as a military spouse and cancer survivor. Karen aims to help people feel steadier and more able to face daily demands.
Her work is direct and practical. She uses talk therapy, mindfulness, and skills training to help people manage emotions and day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build a stronger foundation for daily life and relationships.
Karen’s background spans medical, counseling, and ministry education. She holds a Master of Business Administration and a Doctorate in Christian Ministries, and she earned counseling licensure after a long career in nursing. Her clinical experience includes trauma, substance use concerns, and supporting people affected by incarceration.

She describes clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them shape goals that fit their values and responsibilities.
