With hope and compassion Dr. Karen offers a multi-faceted counselling approach for individuals and couples. These therapeutic approaches range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to working at the subconscious/unconscious levels and integrating mind/body through hypnotherapy, EMDR, Integrative Body Psychotherapy, Family Constellations, Theta technique, and German New Medicine. All of these approaches are described in the Approach to Counselling section. The Emergo Counselling approach matches your unique situation to the appropriate techniques so that you can make changes, create new possibilities, decide on solutions to your problems, and then emerge and go get into action (Emerge….GO…get into action).

Recently she received Honorable Mention in the News Digest International for a “Who'[s Who in Local Communities” by Stephen Bozanek, recognizing individuals and businesses who have recently contributed to improving their local communities.
Prior to being a counselling psychologist she worked in the complimentary field of organizational psychology as a human resources manager in large organizations.

In 1993, due to the sudden death of a family member, she began to learn about spirituality and working at the energetic level. Initially she became a Reiki Master. Along with Reiki she has now been trained in Qi Gong Levels I to III from Dr. Steven Aung, Edmonton; Tai Chi, Christa Healing Method from Adriene Wentworth, Colorado, six years of Family Constellation training from Bert Hellinger, Mark Wolynn, Francesca Mason Boring, Sneh Victoria Schnebel, and Bill Manle.
