Hi!
I'm Karen
I help women recover from life trauma and you might think that means I have all my shit together every day.
I promise you, I don’t.
Like any other woman who’s experienced trauma, I’m a beautiful blend of hot mess and amazing effectiveness.
What I know about my perfect future client is this: You know you have what it takes to be effective and successful at life but you fear that your past trauma is going to block you at every turn.
And let’s be real. It will try.

How I’m a Hot Mess
- Childhood abuse gave me deep insecurities.
- Domestic violence took away my feelings of safety.
- Sexual harassment made work life hell.
- Being stalked by an old boyfriend gave me anxiety.
- Many, many relationship mistakes made me doubt myself.
- Always questioning my parenting skills.
How I’m a Success
I’m healing and growing!
When I examine my life, I see my accomplishments and know that I am an amazing woman AND a hot mess.
I own all sides of myself and no longer try to be perfect.
Like all successful women who’ve weathered trauma, I know it is not about getting it right every single minute - I won’t!
I don’t have to be perfect or fully healed in every way before helping others. I only need to be on a healing path, even a few steps ahead to be an encourager for other women.
- Chronic pain
- Addictions
- Self-sabotage
- Imposter syndrome
- Medical and mental disorders
- Toxic beliefs about ourselves and others
- Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress
- Feeling empty, ashamed, numb, and alone
- Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress
- Moral injury - questioning your place in the world
- Relationship strife (partners, children, extended family, friends, peers, co-workers, leadership)
- Impossible to list everything...
Here is a gift for you. Accepting my gift will allow us to stay connected.

“Working with Karen has been a pleasure and helped me greatly with issues I had left dormant for years. The care plan she recommended was spot on. She was patient and attentive as we worked through my trauma timeline. Her insights have also helped me in dealing with the day-to-day things that sometimes just happen. In all, I’d absolutely recommend Karen to anyone seeking quality treatment!”
"With Karen’s encouragement, I handed mom a 13-page letter explaining our issues and used examples. I illustrated how past hurts made me feel, and I’m not expecting anything in return. This has removed a huge burden off of my shoulders (and heart and mind). Thank you Karen for guiding me through this process, it’s helped lots."
