Karen makes everything seem possible.

I took yesterday (mental health awareness day) to remember how far I've come with my anxiety and how comfortable I feel talking about it now. I wouldn't have been able to say that without you, Karen. Thank you for everything that you do. It helps us all so much!

Karen is intuitive, wise, and pragmatic in her therapeutic approach. Her authentic disposition and keen understanding of what lies beneath is one of the reasons I have applied her advice in my own life. She truly is one of the gems of Austin.

I’m grateful to have had the privilege to be your “patient.” Your guidance has been pivotal in my life. I have always remembered how you have helped me, and I’ve cherished your help. In fact, I’ve often reminisced of our sessions, and what you’ve said.
— Gil, Harlingen
 
I never got the chance to thank you for everything you did for me! You helped me get through a lot of holes in my life and I’m really grateful I found you. I hope to find someone here in Houston that is at least somewhat like you! Thanks Karen!

I’ve only been to a handful of sessions with three different psychologists in my 36 years, but I can say without a doubt that Karen is the only one of those with whom I spoke the same proverbial language. She not only has a firm grasp of psychological standards and practices, but she also approaches them with a spiritual firmness that allows her to empathize with every situation and thought I throw at her. She has a kind heart and wise soul that guided me through some extremely difficult times. I hope I’ll always have her there to help keep my compass pointed to my true north. I recommend her highly for others too.

When I met Karen, I was in a sad place and I couldn’t imagine myself happy outside of what I had just lost. Over the course of meeting and sharing with her, and with the Learning to Love Yourself Group she hosted, I slowly gained back my love for myself, my sense of humor, my appreciation for my surroundings and my blessings. It was VERY up and down for awhile but in retrospect, I can see now how at each peak I moved closer and closer to what I wanted more than anything: a meaningful and intimate relationship with a man whom I love and who loves me back, who makes me feel good, who appreciates me, and whom I am proud of. That is seriously what Karen helped me “order” one day during a group session. Though I went on many dates and experienced several true disappointments, today, I am with a man who is everything I ordered and more. We completely adore each other and there are no doubts.

My life has changed in a huge, positive way since I began seeing Karen several months ago. After a lifetime of failed relationships, she immediately steered me on a path that has resulted in a positive flow of energy and happiness in all areas of my life, including my love life. I have never felt so good or been surrounded by such healthy people who I have attracted into my life thanks to Karen.

Karen is a gift! Her guidance always comes from a place of truth and love. For me, Karen’s positive and playful energy create a space in which it feels safe to explore new possibilities. She offers feedback while honoring a person’s unique experience. I am so grateful to her.

Your e-newsletter is just spectacular. I have only moments to zip through email and I always skim/read yours. Today I read it in its entirety because I couldn’t stop!

Before my sessions with Karen, I had been stuck for a long time. I knew what I was good at but it wasn’t bringing me the pleasure that I wanted, that jump out of bed and run to work feeling. Through Karen’s coaching, I was quickly up and moving toward brilliance. It might have taken me years; with Karen, it took 2 months. I love that she’s willing to work when I need her. And I expect to need her again and again.

I had recently graduated college and settled into a well paying job when I was at a used book store and I half heartedly picked up a book titled “Toxic Parents.” That book opened up an emotional can of worms that so desperately needed to be dealt with. I became really anxious and sensitive so much that I became unable to sleep. I went to Karen when I realized I needed help in healing these past wounds. Her friendly and motherly presence made me feel comfortable to open up and talk to her about anything. She listened carefully and gave helpful suggestions. I was part of her young women’s therapy group for many weeks which was also a great experience. With the help of Karen’s counseling, I am now in a much better emotional state. Whenever a friend of mine is dealing with heavy issues, I always recommend Karen!

Working with Karen for the last few months has helped me to move beyond and repair some of my setbacks from the past and to create the present and future that I desire. I’ve learned how to speak the truth about what I really want in life and make this clear to myself and other people. I have recently manifested the “perfect job” and now I am happy to say that I am fully living out my dreams.

Thank you, Karen. I appreciate your commitment to helping me get on the right path. I had a really good day after our discussion. I feel empowered suddenly just for simply being honest with you and myself by revealing my shadows. Perhaps the most productive day I have encountered in a very long time. Peace out!

Karen is more than just a therapist. She provides a place where we can be our true selves, work on our relationship, and feel safe. We look forward to our meetings knowing that when we are having our relationship troubles she helps us and when thigs are good she assists in making things even better. We have noticed a big difference both in our relationship and in how we live our lives since we started working with Karen. We better understand each other and ourselves, and that helps us live our lives the way we want to rather than as victims of circumstance. We plan to work with her for a long time and continue to grow and learn!
