Online & in-person therapy based in Beacon, NY.
Trauma & dissociation therapy that supports you.
Find peace & strength through healing.
It can be hard to explain what you’re going through to friends and family.
Even when everything seems fine, you still feel that underlying fear.
You’re exhausted from constantly being in survival mode, and some days blur together, leaving you feeling numb and disconnected. Deep down, you wish you could forget what happened, but it feels impossible. We’ll work to piece things together so you can make sense of your experiences and understand your life differently.
My role is to help you uncover and connect with your wisest, most resilient self.
These parts of you hold the strength to heal and grow, even when the path seems challenging.
You are the expert on your life. No one knows your inner world better than you do. In our work together, we will always move at your pace, ensuring trust and safety are our guiding principles. I firmly believe that healing is possible for everyone, especially when supported by someone who understands the complexities of trauma and dissociation. With the right guidance, you can move toward a more secure and fulfilling future.
Some things I can help you with
Flashbacks & Triggers
Learn to manage and diminish the power of distressing memories so they no longer control your emotions and daily life. By developing resources to cope with flashbacks & triggers, you can reduce their impact and regain a sense of balance.
Understanding Your Inner World
Gain insight into the different parts of yourself, including those that may feel disconnected or dissociated. Learn to recognize and work with these self-states compassionately, fostering a sense of internal harmony. By embracing each part, you can begin to understand their unique roles and experiences, allowing for deeper self-awareness and healing.
Trauma Memories
Explore traumatic experiences at a gentle pace, using a blend of talk therapy, somatic techniques, and expressive arts—whatever resonates for you. These approaches create space for healing, helping you navigate and release the emotional and physical impacts of trauma in an empowering way.
Self-Harming Behaviors & Suicidal Thoughts
Feel less alone and more understood as you share your emotional pain in a caring and supportive environment. We can explore new coping strategies, build a sense of safety, and help ease the intensity.
Hey there, I'm Karen (she/her).
I’m so glad you’re here.
Finding a therapist who really gets trauma and dissociation can feel overwhelming, and it takes a lot of courage to take that first step toward getting help. I want you to know that I appreciate the effort you're putting into finding the right support for yourself. Healing is a personal journey, and having someone by your side who understands that can make a big difference. You're not alone in this, and it's okay to take things at your own pace.
Healing from trauma is not just about talking; it’s about feeling safe, heard, and understood.
I believe that the foundation of this healing lies in the relationship we build together. Our work will focus on creating a space where you can gradually develop trust and a sense of security. Whether you’ve been holding onto something for years or just starting to uncover difficult experiences, I’m here to support you.
“My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support, understanding, and guidance every step of the way. Together, we can create a path forward that honors your experiences and helps you move toward the healing you deserve.”
