With her training and experience, Karen will seek to help you in areas such as:

*Grief            *Conflict Management    *Loneliness         *Depression

 

 Her desire is that when she meets with a person he or she feels “seen, soothed, safe, and secure. The brain can do a lot of hard work for a long period of time, as long as it doesn’t have to do it by itself. Who among us doesn’t have something in our life we have simply given up on—some wound we assume won’t ever be healed, some ruptured relationship whose future we can picture only in images of the injured past, some addictive behavior we believe we can’t overcome, some part of our character in which we are so embroiled that we no longer even consider that it can change? Our discouragement and even despair about such things are, more than anything else, deeply dependent on the degree to which our minds and hearts are living in isolation.” *
