A warm welcome
You may have found me because of feelings or an experience that is impacting your life. Whether you already know the root of the difficulties you are experiencing, or if you do not understand your feelings, you have taken an important step towards feeling better. I can assist if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unsatisfied, anxious or depressed; if you are feeling lost and need some direction, or if you simply want a better life and better relationships.

Philosophy
I look forward to speaking with you. Karen.
