Hi, I’m Karen.
Wherever you are at in your life experience, you’ll be met with care and compassion.
I view inner alignment, meaningful connection with others, and a sense of being deeply seen and understood as core human needs. When these are not met, we find ourselves hurting, lost, disconnected or overwhelmed. Exploring our experiences, wounds and relationship dynamics in the safe company of someone who can provide compassion, can be a profoundly healing journey.
My aim as a therapist is to help facilitate each person’s growth process based on their unique goals. I find deep joy in seeing people discover their own truths, find freedom through healing, and thrive in life.
I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I have worked in the mental health field supporting the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents, adults and parents/caregivers, for over 25 years.
I bring my lived experience as a transracial adoptive parent navigating learning and children’s mental health challenges to further inform my approach to helping others. Supporting complex parenting and helping families become and belong is where my heart lies.
I offer evidence-based and client-centred treatment for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, parenting and a variety of life transitions. I provide Couple Relationship Counselling, Narrative therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed therapy, Family therapy, and caregiver support.
I offer virtual and in person counselling services. I accept ICBC clients.
I also offer:
- clinical supervision and consultation
- speaking engagements and workshop facilitation
- pre-recorded online webinars and courses
- anxiety-reduction curriculum for schools
