There are times when life is painful and seemingly without answers, yet what seems most broken in us can be a channel for growth, even a source of strength we never knew was possible. My own healing through therapy and mindfulness meditation inspired the pursuit of an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, the first program in the world to blend Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions with Western schools of psychology. Today, I feel honored to support others on their journey toward healing.

I also offer Gottman Method couples therapy and sex therapy.
You're tired of always feeling overwhelmed, on autopilot, or stuck in your head with anxiety and insecurities. Self-defeating beliefs and patterns are seriously getting in the way of your goals, work, or relationships. And maybe you also struggle with food, body image, or past events / traumas that make you wonder if you'll ever feel okay in your own skin. Did I just just describe you? Let's talk. I'm not a passive therapist— I roll up my sleeves and give you tangible strategies to deal more effectively in the moment with difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

I support women who feel overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. You might appear to have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re weighed down by life’s responsibilities. You’re in need of rest but unsure how to truly incorporate it into your life. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot, focusing on others’ needs while neglecting your own. You’re familiar with your role as a caregiver, but do you know who you are and what you need outside of that role? I work with women who want to live with peace, show up authentically, and grow in their relationships with themselves and others. I help couples better communicate and trust.

Hello, I'm Karen Hall and I'm a licensed clinical social worker. I let my clients take the lead in what they want to talk about in therapy. I consider clients to be the experts on themselves and what they want to work on. I like to tell clients their options for whatever they consider important work. With trauma I begin by helping clients identify their triggers and soothing mechanisms first, then reveal options like narrative writing, cognitive processing, EMDR, brain-spotting or an integrative approach whichever techniques may be best for them.

Are you a high achiever who feels overwhelmed and frustrated? Do you want to maximize your time management and stop procrastinating? Do you feel like you're working all the time but not getting enough done? People might think you have it all together, but on the inside, you're critical of yourself and feel disappointed. You might also lack confidence and often find yourself second-guessing your decisions. I commonly work with high achievers and executives who want to improve their boundaries, feel more confident, and take their careers to the next level.

You're carrying the weight of navigating a world that often feels like it wasn't built for you. It can be brutal, the constant feeling of being on edge, the unseen barriers you face daily, and the overwhelming expectation to fit the “mold”. You're not alone. I'm here to help you heal, reclaim your life, and thrive! I understand that navigating these challenges can be incredibly difficult and that they can leave deep emotional scars. As a therapist working with individuals facing these issues, I deeply understand how these challenges can manifest and uniquely impact your life, and I recognize the interconnectedness between them.

Do you find yourself stuck in anxious thought spirals or painful relationship patterns? Maybe you feel out of control in your relationship with yourself or others—caught in cycles of people-pleasing, codependency, or self-doubt. Often these patterns are rooted in trauma or complicated childhood experiences. You may be trying to make sense of the past while wondering who you are outside of the patterns they’ve shaped. Together, we can slow things down, untangle these patterns, and help you reconnect with a clearer sense of who you are.

In couples therapy, I apply the Gottman Method to enhance communication and connection.
You might be carrying trauma that was never fully acknowledged or tended to. Maybe you're trying to manage anxiety that just won't let up. You could be feeling lost in the pressures of parenting and daily life. You’ve been holding it together for everyone else, but inside, you’re tired. Maybe you’re questioning how you got here, or noticing the ways you’ve learned to cope just aren’t working anymore. You want to feel more like yourself again. More grounded, steady, able to breathe, able to hold space. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in relationship patterns that are confusing, intense, or hard to break, especially when those patterns are connected to attachment, identity, or religious and spiritual trauma. Many of the people I work with are rethinking what they were taught about relationships, faith, and who they are supposed to be, and noticing how those early messages still show up in their lives.
