Her background includes work with Veterans and their families as well as with people affected by domestic and family violence, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and stress. Karyn has developed particular expertise helping clients navigate significant life transitions, with a focus on women’s wellbeing during midlife changes and the shifts in identity and roles that can accompany those years.

She works with issues such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control concerns, separation and divorce, substance-related problems, family conflict, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm.

Believing that people are the experts in their own lives, Karyn supports clients to recognize the inner resources that have carried them so far and to develop new tools for coping and change. She recognizes that reaching out for support is a meaningful step and approaches each person with empathy, respect, and practical strategies tailored to their situation.
