Born and raised in North Austin, Karen has traveled all over the globe and has lived in several different cities: Austin, Denver, Boston, and Phoenix, to name a few. Karen received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology. Above all else, she desires to help and empower people and has always known she would eventually become an LPC. 

During her master's program, Karen was deeply inspired by the concept of the Wounded Healer, that "we heal others by our wounds," which further affirmed her chosen path. She hopes to work with individuals battling trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, grief, and betrayal trauma. Additionally, as the daughter of a gay man, she is incredibly passionate about providing Gender Affirming care and empowering disenfranchised communities.
