Making the decision to see a counsellor is a difficult one, but it can change your life. I provide person-centered therapy in a comfortable space free of judgement and shame in metro St. John's or online. Whether you want to improve relationships or people skills, reduce negative thoughts or anxiety, or treat trauma or PTSD, I am here to be with you on that journey. I work with adults and teens, I have experience working with first responders and trauma, and I cherish the 2SLGBTQ+ community. I’m also a Certified Clinical Services Provider for ADHD and a Certified Clinical Specialist for ASD and I'm accepting clients now.

While I embrace person-centered therapy, I'm also trained in EMDR. This is a proven method of therapy developed for veterans which tends to work quickly; I’ve seen it change lives. If you don’t want to talk about your feelings, EMDR is likely for you. If you prefer to talk it out, I'm here to listen. Let's put some coping skills in your tool box.

I have first-hand, lived experience dealing with challenges in parenting, relationships, neurodivergence, life-changes, caregiving, and life with first responders. Finding a new therapist can feel risky, but I offer 20-minute consultations at no cost and with no pressure so we can get to know one another. Reach out today. Your future self will thank you.

Endorsement

Celestine Eagle

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, MA

I highly endorse Karen. She is brilliant and knowledgeable, always offering insightful guidance. Her caring and gentle nature fosters a deep rapport with clients, and as a colleague, she consistently demonstrates exceptional dedication and professionalism.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
Compassion Focused
Culturally Sensitive
EMDR
Humanistic
Narrative
Psychodynamic
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to see me and practice some techniques to help you control your body's reaction to stress. If you choose EMDR treatment, it doesn't ask you to go into great detail about your painful experiences. Instead, it acts to neutralize the thoughts surrounding the memories and helps you conquer your past so you can live your life fully.
