Karen is masterful in identifying the roadblocks that impede growth. Her support has accelerated my development as a clinician. She introduces tenderness to the tough and context to life’s puzzles. Karen brings her full self to the relationship journey as the compassionate, present, and embodied guide who has your back and will help you transform your life.

– Allison Howe, PACT faculty and certified PACT therapist


Being mentored by Karen after being a psychotherapist for almost 50 years and presenting workshops for over 40 years, was nothing short of enlightening. To work in true collaboration and to have her integrate what I was trying to conceive touched my heart. Karen listens and connects with her heart and gut, intelligence and an ability to hear the unspoken. She relates with compassion and her enthusiastic encouragement buoyed me up to overcome my hurdles. 

I highly recommend Karen to help you find where you want to go and what you want to express.”
