About
I feel honored to support individuals through times where you feel vulnerable or challenged. I want you to feel safe and heard without judgement.
Hello, I am Karen. I am a dual-certified nurse practitioner, certified as both a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have over 18 years' experience in mental health. I have worked with all age groups, from three-year-old children through 100-year-old geriatric clients. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with all mental health disorders and am passionate about working in a collaborative and empathetic approach with all my clients.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and never alone. I believe in meeting each person where they are, with compassion and understanding, and every client deserves to feel valued without fear of judgment. I strive to build connections and provide the same kindness, patience, and support that I would want for my own loved ones.
I treat every individual with kindness, compassion, and respect, taking time to listen and understand your experiences. Together, we'll develop a plan that supports your mental health goals and builds on your strengths. No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve to feel heard, understood, and hopeful. I look forward to partnering with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 1 year of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion for helping others began in teaching and caregiving before I discovered my calling in counseling. I work with clients ages 12+ from diverse backgrounds to address trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can take root.
I earned a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University. My approach integrates compassion, collaboration, and perspective-building to foster personal growth. I help clients reframe challenges, explore new insights, and strengthen their sense of security and resilience through open dialogue and mutual understanding.
You deserve a therapist who truly sees and accepts you without judgment. I will meet you with honesty, empathy, and respect, creating a safe space where you can do more than survive. My goal is to empower you to build the life you desire, one rooted in growth, peace, and authenticity.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
