About Me

Hello, I am Karen, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who enjoys therapeutic work with individuals, couples, families and groups in Roseville, C.A. I have a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University Sacramento, as well as a Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Counseling from Keele University in England. Prior to becoming a counselor I had a successful career in education as a teacher, vice-principal and finally as a trainer and advisor.

I have 10 years experience as a counselor and I am very passionate about the the work I do with clients. I believe this passion comes from my sense of being called to this profession and a lifelong desire to understand the human condition. From both personal and professional experiences I have learned that we all at sometime, whether as individuals, a couple or family, need someone to just listen so we can hear ourselves and find our own way back to a balanced and healthy life. This listening to ourselves can sometimes mean learning how to relax and de-stress and when we do this we find the answers to our problems reveal themselves. At other times we may need to add new coping skills to our current repotoire. In other instances it may mean changing our thinking and behaviors or discovering lifelong patterns that no longer serve us in our relationships.

In terms of my therapeutic style it has been described as relaxed and empathetic as I listen to understand fully my clients experience. Besides helping clients feel understood and heard, I also aim to provide supportive practical feedback and psycho-education on mental health issues. This feedback and education I have been informed has helped clients more effectively address their personal life challenges. By integrating complementary methodologies and techniques I seek to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. Using each persons ability to heal themselves, I work to help clients build on their strengths to attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

So, if you think the time has come that you as an individual, couple or family deserve to feel more confident, happier, energized, more engaged with life, have a more balanced life, be courageous and pick up the phone and call me, email me or complete the contact form on this site. Let's begin the conversation. "I'm listening".
