Psychotherapist and Grief Counselor
Have you ever had your heart broken? Perhaps a relationship ended, a loved one died, or maybe life didn't turn out the way you expected. When we experience disappointment or loss, it is natural to go through a grieving process. Yet, in our American culture, there is very little time and space for grief to be expressed. We think we need to get on with our lives and appear strong to friends and family. We don?t want to burden others with our sadness so we hold in our grief. Or, afraid to reach out for support, we grieve alone.
Repressing our grief is unhealthy and can lead to depression, anxiety, addiction and even physical illness. It can also lead to an unfulfilled life. Expressing our grief, on the other hand, can soften our edges, making us more human, better able to connect with and relate to others. Further, it can lead us on a journey to greater purpose and fulfillment.
Karen provides a safe container for you to express and transform your grief, so you can experience a fuller, richer and more purposeful life. She uses a variety of empowering techniques including cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapies as well as guided visualizations to assist you on your healing journey. As a catalyst, she ignites your own inner wisdom which she believes holds the keys to your transformation.
The focus of each session will be on helping you to:
* Transform your experiences of disappointment and loss
* Move forward with more purpose and direction
* Engage more fully in your life
Karen works with individuals and couples at her office in Santa Cruz, CA. She also offers phone and Skype sessions.
