Karen opened her office in 1994. She has been a Hypnotherapist for over 18 years. Her extensive background in nursing has proven invaluable in her ability to help her clients. She receives referrals from doctors, dentists and many other health professionals who understand that how we think can definitely affect how we react to surgeries, medical procedures, illness and fears. What is in the mind is in the body!
Karen focuses on client-centered hypnotherapy. With client-centered hypnosis clients can heal previous experiences, talk with other parts of themselves that need healing (parts therapy), reframe issues from their past and present that need attention, find out the reasons for behaviors and then visualize the new behaviors and actions they wish to have. Client-centered hypnosis is extremely powerful for clients and allows them to be an intregal part of their healing.
Karen is devoted in guiding her clients to reach their goals to become the person they desire to be, moving beyond old thoughts, feelings, and emotions, that are holding them back. She is dedicated to help her clients achieve Health and Happiness in their life. She has a deep respect for her clients and honors whatever they bring to the session.
