My name is Karen, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Florida. I have over 28 years of experience in Europe working with children, youth, families, and other vulnerable populations in crisis. I founded Hopespace Counseling Services passionate about using my counseling experience to help individuals, couples, and families struggling with various addictions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life stressors. My practice is solely a video conferencing practice which gives you the freedom to reach out from the comfort of your home, office, dorm, or wherever best suits you.
I strive to fully understand everyone’s unique challenges and help them find a path towards healing, hope, and a renewed perspective using evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EDMR).
You may feel hesitant to reach out for help and support. I want to encourage you to reach out today and take a courageous first step towards setting important life goals, enjoying meaningful relationships, and feeling good again! You don't have to figure this out alone. Call me for a free consultation.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use CBT or EMDR in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate approach to help you find a path towards healing, hope, and a renewed perspective. Often our thoughts can affect both our emotions and experience. During treatment, I will help you work through any negative thought patterns that have left you feeling stuck.
