As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

Everyone has the power to grow, heal and improve their life. Maybe you are feeling stuck due to symptoms of depression or anxiety or are feeling overwhelmed by being in a difficult season of life. Therapy can help you process what you have been through, better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build healthier ways of coping so you can feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life again. Having a seasoned and trusted clinician alongside you can make all the difference in moving you towards your goals. For almost 25 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing depression, stress management, anger management, and PTSD so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Life can feel heavy at times—whether you’re coping with past trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing bipolar disorder, or just feeling overwhelmed by daily stress. You may find yourself stuck in painful patterns, unsure how to move forward, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Therapy can be a space to finally set that burden down and begin healing.

I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I tailor sessions to meet your needs through EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based methods. My goal is to help you understand your experiences, build practical coping tools, and restore a sense of balance and confidence in your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri and Oklahoma, offering teletherapy sessions to make care accessible and convenient. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to go through this alone—reach out today and let’s start your path toward healing.

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


Hey there, I’m Karen, a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) who brings warmth and humor to our therapy sessions, fostering a strong, trusting relationship as the foundation for pursuing your goals. Through my telehealth practice, I support adults in Kansas navigating personal challenges, life obstacles, and mental health concerns. I personalize my approach with each client, helping them uncover new possibilities and create meaningful emotional change.

I specialize in working with adults navigating hurdles like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues, plus other emotional and mental health concerns. Whether you’re managing stress or seeking personal development, I offer education and skills to support your journey of growth. I especially enjoy assisting clients who come across as overly blunt or harsh, guiding them to refine their communication to connect more effectively while staying authentic.

My communication style is authentic, playful, and direct, paired with a splash of humor. I cultivate a space where you can explore and share freely. With thoughtful observation and clear communication, I notice what’s often overlooked and encourage honest dialogue.

I help you reach your goals by customizing therapy to fit you. I share analogies and relatable stories to bring clarity. I empower you to tap into your values, strengths, and passions to grow with integrity. By viewing emotions as messengers, not problems, I offer coping skills to manage them in a healthy way, giving you tools to find calm and achieve lasting progress.

Important note: I don't schedule through Headway contact me for availability.

I am becoming very specialized in relational issues, whether meeting with couples or individuals. As a society, so many are struggling in relationships, connections, and sexuality. I look at these issues largely from a developmental perspective meaning increased self- knowledge can make a huge difference in getting unstuck from negative patterns.
