Hi I'm Kaaren

Licensed Professional Counselor

Certified IFS Clinical Consultant

Registered Art Therapist

Certified Brainspotting

I am a person-centered therapist grounded in the “Unconditional Positive Regard” of Carl Rogers. I provide support and intervention with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment.

​

I believe we are not defined by our past or by current behaviors, nor are we destined to repeat destructive or unhelpful patterns shaped by trauma, lived experience, or generational influences. All people possess a remarkable capacity for growth and healing.

​

My approach is integrative, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, relationships, and environment. Depending on your goals, therapy may incorporate traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, art therapy, energy work, and spiritual exploration

​

I value supporting fellow practitioners as an IFS Program Assistant and through consultation work.  I work with practitioners to learn the IFS model, and/or provide support as they work toward IFS Certification. 

I studied shamanic healing and assist my shamanic healing mentor with her teachings. I believe spirituality can be an integral part of wellness, and support your personal spiritual practice with curiosity and an open heart.  

​

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being in nature, foraging wild mushrooms, and continuing to walk the path of a life long learner. My husband and I are passionate land stewards and recently restored 30 acres of farmland to native prairie and pollinator habitat.

​Please reach out — I would be honored to support you in your journey toward healing, self-love, and greater authenticity.
