About me

I am a graduate of Northcentral University with a degree in Marriage and Family therapy. I really enjoy working with teenagers. Teenagers are a group of people close to my heart because of their need for support when transitioning between being a child and becoming and adult. This time can be very confusing but together we can navigate through it.

Karyn has been wonderful. She was very responsive when we first initially were reaching out and became a good fit for our daughter. She has given our daughter great coping mechanisms and techniques which has been helpful for our daughter. We are very glad that we met Karyn and we have already seen a difference in our daughter, even after the first session.

Our sessions with Karyn were extremely helpful. We were able to weather the storm in big part to the sessions with Karyn. My wife and I’s relationship has greatly benefitted from the sessions. Thank you again Ms Karyn!

Karyn is very helpful in situations and a very neutral party. She listens to your problems with great attention and is very attentive to your needs.
