About Karen:

Born and raised in the United States, Karen spent her adult life working and living abroad. This makes her uniquely positioned to serve the needs of expatriates who face the challenges of adjusting to the demands of overseas living. Working overseas has also given Karen cultural awareness and sensitivity in her work with clients from diverse backgrounds. While living internationally, Karen raised two 3rd culture kids and knows the inherent challenges of being a parent and of being a child.  

With a background in teaching, combined with years of counselling experience, Karen’s clients are offered a unique and powerful combination of knowledge and skills. 

Whether her client is a child or adolescent, a parent, a partner or a single person, she has personal experience and proven methodologies that can help you navigate life's challenges.
