Kaaren has been very supportive to me through one of my life's most difficult journeys. Kaaren is a very good listener and I felt that she really understands my deep emotions and feelings. I also enjoyed the scientific discussions about different therapeutic methods such as brainspotting. The time flies quickly in our sessions which directly means that she is easy to talk to, she knows what and when to propose a therapeutic method. She proposed to me few exercices that I found helpful and pushed me towards healing and more self-consciousness. Thanks Kaaren !

Welcome! Thank you for considering me in your journey of healing, growth, and wellness. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), art therapist, and brainspotting practitioner in Wisconsin. I have 5 years of experience in mental health services, and a M.Ed degree with over 15 years of experience as an educator. My professional training and experience allows me to effectively provide empathetic listening and skills training to those I serve. My ultimate goal is helping individuals find their own unique tools and skills to drive their recovery and wellness.
I have worked with individuals, groups, and families with a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, chronic pain, family and other relationship issues, adoption, trauma history, career and learning challenges, coping strategies, mental health challenges related to medical issues, aging, ADHD and Autism.
My approach to therapy is rooted in respect for individuality, compassion, and non-judgement. I am person-centered and my diverse training allows me to meet clients where they are in their journey. Based on your strengths, needs, and goals, our strategies may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), art therapy, Brainspotting and other trauma work, catharsis and validation, spirituality, dream-work, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
I commend your decision to make changes and experience greater life fulfillment and happiness. If it is your choice to work with me, I look forward to supporting and empowering you as you move toward that goal.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Her sessions have been an indispensable part of my recovery process. I always look forward to them— she is constantly making me feel heard, understood and uplifted. The coping mechanisms she has taught me? I’ll be using them for life. She’s truly a one of a kind and has enough energy and zest for life that it’s contagious. Thank you so much for all your help, Kaaren. I’ll honestly never be the same (in the best way possible). #StewOfLife
Kaaren has helped me through a really challenging time in my life. I'm grateful for her measured and wise responses to whatever I'm going through. She has helped me process a lot of past and present feelings, and given me space to feel safe in expressing myself honestly. We have worked with various techniques and I appreciate being able to integrate different approaches when it seems right.
Kaaren and I have had two live sessions so far and at first it was a little intimidating trying to figure out what I wanted to talk about and where to even begin. But Kaaren has been extremely understanding and easy to talk to. She has multiple different approaches to help me deal with my anxiety and other struggles. I would rate Kaaren a 10/10 so far and I am happy with the progress we have made. Every time we end a session I feel a little more relieved as well as supplied with tangible tools to use in my everyday life.
So far so good.
I feel more comfortable with messages, it’s when I like to contact or respond. Kaaren, has been supportive, understanding and gives me multiple options for me to deal with my issues instead of limited choices which would make me feel like it’s not working. I prefer messages as when I message in one state of mind, a few hours when I read what she writes, I understand as I calm down. And being in a face to face session, I think I would get myself worked up in a short time and leave with new feelings I couldn’t express.
So far I’ve had two sessions. Kaaren was very understanding, flexible, helpful.
