About Karen

​

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW)in both Kentucky and Indiana.  I received my undergraduate degrees from Illinois State  University in Psychology and French. I went on to pursue my master’s degree (MSSW) at the University of Louisville’s Kent School of Social Work.  I have been working with children and  families for over ten years and providing therapy since 2013. I gained the majority of my experience working at a local non-profit with children and families who had experienced trauma and loss often as the result of a crime.  I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), childhood traumatic grief (CTG), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing and trauma-informed approaches.
