**Hello! I'm Karen: Here to Guide You on Your Healing Journey!**

My journey as a retired military spouse 🇺🇸 has given me a firsthand understanding of the unique challenges tied to military life. It's this connection that sets me apart and helps me resonate deeply with those from the military community.

When it comes to therapy, I pride myself on creating a space tailored just for you. Think of our sessions as a blend of genuine heart-to-heart chats and professional insights. I'm all about customizing my approach, blending time-tested methods with contemporary techniques to ensure you get the most out of our time together.

Now, for those with a jam-packed schedule, I offer online sessions, and I'm flexible with timing too. Whether you're an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between, I’ve got weekend and evening slots open just for you.

Oh, and let’s talk logistics. I accept insurance from both United Health Care and Blue Cross Blue Shield to make things smoother for you.

So, if you're ready to embark on a transformative journey with a therapist who feels like an old friend, I'm here, ready and eager to support you. Let’s take that first step together!
