About Karen

Karen brings to each session her breadth and depth of clinical experience, creativity and compassion to provide a unique and progressive program best suited for the client.  She works with adults and children.

 

She has a knack for problem solving the most difficult of cases.  Her clinical skills, tenacity, and out-of-the-box thinking have helped many clients out of the most dire of circumstances such as impending surgery, difficult post-op rehab, and chronic pain.

​

Karen’s strong and safe therapeutic presence, with empathic discernment provide a steady foundation to engage deep long held issues in the body.  She is an Advanced Craniosacral Therapy (CST) practitioner who has an affinity to work with people who are healing from PTSD, and those who would like to release current or past traumas at the physical/ emotional/ generational/ spiritual levels.  CST is a gentle, light touch treatment that tunes into where soft tissue or fluid restrictions reside in the body.  Using touch and dialogue, Karen is able to engage the challenges at hand.  She is adept at connecting with the body's inner wisdom to release injury and trauma.  She will guide you on your healing path.  And with her training as a Distance Healer, she can support you with CST remotely.

​

Karen lives with her wife Lauren, and their three spoiled cats in Alexandria, VA.  She spends her free time in nature, mindfulness and movement practices, and with family and friends.
