MEET THE THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Karen!
I’m deeply passionate about helping others navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing. By weaving together my Christian faith, personal experiences, and professional training, I offer counselling rooted in empathy, integrity, and a deep respect for each client’s journey.
​
My path into this work has been shaped by real-life experience and a calling to walk alongside others with compassion. I was raised on a farm and spent many years working in agriculture, an environment that instilled in me the values of perseverance, community, and honest connection. Those early lessons continue to influence how I build trust and show up for clients.
​
Later, I served as a missionary in Mexico, where I witnessed firsthand the courage it takes to face life’s hardest moments. That season of service affirmed my desire to support others more intentionally and led me to pursue formal counselling training in 2017.
​
Today, I blend evidence-based practices with a heart-centred approach, creating a space where people feel seen, safe, and supported. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring faith questions, or navigating everyday stress, I’m here to help you find clarity, resilience, and renewed hope - at your own pace, in your own way.
