Hello! I’m Karen

Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Webster University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been counseling individuals, couples and families for over 25 years. My therapeutic perspective is that we, as individuals, can make changes and find increased satisfaction in our lives if we intentionally set aside time for the purpose of change. I strive to establish and maintain a relationship with my clients that encourages equality, respect and trust. In general, once counseling goals are agreed upon, I will offer strategies and perspective for you to utilize in the achievement of your goals on your timeline at your own pace.

My Approach & Values

My belief is that the Emotional, Physical, Spiritual and Mental Body are all one and I encourage a person consider that each area may need to be addressed in the process of counseling.

"May you never forget that when it was hard, and you were overwhelmed, and felt afraid, and walked alone, and felt invisible, and didn't have the answers, and couldn't see the way, and wanted to give up...you kept going."

"Without a boundary, you will be more likely to give in to others. With too rigid of a boundary, you risk feeling isolated. Having clear boundaries helps you adapt the level of emotional or physical intimacy in the moment. Healthy boundaries help with decision making and allow you to take responsibility for your actions and thoughts. Maintaining successful boundaries involves accepting the fact that you cannot please others all of the time. They help you ask for what you need, even though you may be told no or risk feeling rejected. Ultimately, healthy boundaries facilitate self-respect and a sense of your own worth.”

Dr. Arielle Schwartz

“Sometimes we are not meant to forget someone that we once loved. You are only human and there is nothing wrong with the way that you chose to deal with your heartache. You cannot teach a person how to deal with their pain and you cannot tell them what comes after the goodbye. Everyone’s pain is unique. They say that time will heal the wounds but time does not always heal for all of us. Many times we go back to read the chapters of a story that once existed so that we can remember and reminisce about what could have been if things did not turn out the way it did. I need you to know that it is okay to hold someone close to your heart that is not there anymore. It is okay to miss them and ache for them. But somewhere in that process, you have to find the courage to move on and live your life. There is nothing wrong to take pieces of them with you as you journey on through life. You will always have the memories stores in the boxes of your heart.”
