A warm welcome
You have likely found me because your quality of life is being impacted by an experience or prolonged negative feelings. You might already know the root of the issue, or perhaps you need support to make sense of things. Either way, 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.
''Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me and which truly expresses me''? Carl R Rogers
