I support adults of all ages facing a wide range of challenges, including grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and client-centered. I use practical tools and techniques tailored to help you in your everyday life. Every session is personalized, meeting you where you are at that specific stage of your life.
Our work together may involve the following treatment approaches:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Cultivating self-leadership by compassionately engaging with the different parts of ourselves.
Narrative Therapy: Exploring how personal stories shape our identities and discovering new ways to reframe and empower our narrative.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Unpacking how thoughts and behaviours affect our emotions and decisions.
Attachment Theory: Focusing on relationships and bonds (particularly long-term) between people, including those between a parent and child and between romantic partners.
Are you:
Going through a challenging transition in your relationships, career, health, or personal life?
Stuck at a crossroads and trying to decide on the next steps to pursue for your next chapter?
Feeling lost and longing for more direction, purpose, or meaning in your life or work?
Looking for tools and strategies to find the path back to who you are now?
My Story
Ahh, the middle years…
I recall thinking that the middle years felt as though the earth was shifting beneath me with some seismic tremors and an aftershock of - what the hell just happened? Significant life changes left me feeling disoriented and out of balance. To secure my footing, I was hanging on to what was- all the while reeling into my new reality. It was at this point that I realized how ‘aging gracefully’ is not a thing but more of a hang-on-tight because here we go kind of thing.
My experience has taught me that it is within these times of life transitions that we can begin to explore what lights us up, what is important now, and ultimately where we want to go from here. If you are feeling the ground shift- I can help you not just hang on tight- but enjoy the ride.
I look forward to working alongside you,
Karen
