Meet Karen
I began working in the mental health field in 2018 as a case manager in a group home setting, supporting clients diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. From there, I transitioned into more traditional therapeutic roles, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and clinical concerns. My primary motivation for becoming a therapist has always been to offer meaningful support—to be someone people can turn to as they work through whatever they’re experiencing in the moment. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals navigating a variety of challenges, including schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, anger management, and relationship concerns. In sessions, I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Most importantly, I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. I work with clients starting at age thirteen. To better serve diverse communities, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, helping clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in the language that feels most natural to them.
