“Karen has changed my life!! She is so kind and nurturing! This is exactly what I needed! She's teaching me to find myself and live a joyful life with my grief! I wish I'd found her sooner!”

- Shannon

“Eighteen months after losing my husband, I felt I had to stop talk therapy. My therapist was willing to talk about whatever was on my agenda. I just didn't know what my agenda was. I simply wanted the pain to stop. Karen came to each session with her own agenda and it was spot on. Every topic that Karen raised -- resilience, decision making, guilt -- was something that I desperately needed to talk about and to understand. She mentors with compassion, and experience. Her goal is simple: to help us not simply survive the tragedy we faced in losing our life partner, but to thrive.”

- Michelle Boardman
