“Karen is an extremely warm, compassionate, calm and intelligent therapist. I have trained with her over the years and collaborated on clients and anyone who is able to work with her is extremely lucky to have her in their corner.”

—Justine Carino, LMHC

“Working with Karen for over 7 years has truly transformed our relationship. When we first started therapy, we were struggling to communicate, and unresolved issues were beginning to create distance between us. From the very first session, Karen created a safe, nonjudgmental space where we both felt heard and respected.”
