She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and major life changes. She also helps with concerns such as panic, mood difficulties, codependency, and recovery from sexual or domestic abuse.

Karyn uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to address thoughts, feelings, and day-to-day habits that keep problems going.

Her practice also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Karyn incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation or relationship patterns are central to the work. She describes her approach as collaborative and respectful of each person’s background and beliefs.

Karyn has experience supporting people through midlife transitions, divorce and separation, aging and geriatric concerns, and the impact of trauma. She works with people coping with guilt, shame, loss, and questions about life purpose. Sessions typically involve learning concrete coping tools and trying new responses to long-standing problems.

People who choose her practice can expect direct, practical conversation and clear skill-building. Before a first appointment she asks people to identify their main concerns so the initial sessions can focus on immediate goals.
