Hi, I’m Karen, a therapist dedicated to supporting first-generation millennials and Gen X-ers of color who are carrying the weight of unresolved childhood trauma. I provide a compassionate space where you don’t have to explain or justify your culture or identity—you can simply show up as yourself. My work focuses on helping clients move beyond survival mode by exploring the impacts of the past, building self-trust, and finding new ways to relate to themselves and others. I draw on approaches like EMDR, IFS, and polyvagal theory to support healing, while also offering practical tools to manage stress, emotions, and relationships. My goal is to walk alongside you as you create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and truly your own.
