Ms. Karen is a great therapist. She made me figure out what exactly to focus on and what was going wrong with the way I look at things, and how well I was doing. she made me reflect, and I felt very comfortable expressing my concerns, feelings, and thoughts without getting judged. she gave me the space to think and talk. I was even happy and comfortable even in the silent moments. Thank you Ms. Karen!

As a seasoned therapist in New York, I bring four decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and self-esteem concerns with deep understanding and professional expertise.
I specialize in supporting individuals through significant life transitions, focusing on areas like communication challenges, isolation, life purpose exploration, and personal growth. My practice particularly honors women's experiences and addresses workplace dynamics, chronic health conditions, and aging-related concerns.
My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, healing from guilt and shame, and developing healthy coping strategies. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore personal challenges, rebuild self-confidence, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. Whether you're experiencing relationship transitions, workplace stress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
