Are We a Good Fit?
Karen has worked in healthcare as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner for over 29 years. As a result, she brings with her the experience and understanding of how the body works in terms of
physiology, and how the mind works, such as psychology. Her experience allows her to view the two as combined components that work in tandem in each person as opposed to being separate entities. Her unique perspective allows her to understand her clients from their head to their toes, literally. As both a nurse practitioner and a psychologist, Karen brings a rare combination of knowledge, skills and expertise to each session.
