Meet Karen

I am a credentialed certified coach with a specialty in helping people change, grow and meet goals. My role as a coach is to help clients navigate through change and transition by creating a trusting, caring, and unconditional partnership.

Experiencing change and transition is challenging. I strive to balance empathy and sensitivity with helping clients to move forward. My primary coaching is derived from evidence-based theories of change, cognitive behavior, social constructionism, positive psychology and narrative coaching.

I work with a wide range of clients—personal and professional—to provide an individualized coaching experience.  This approach empowers people to embrace their journey, manage change, execute goals, and fulfill their vision. 

I have experienced transitions that have shaped and challenged me to grow in every aspect of my life. My life’s journey includes many transitions in different industries and cultures. I have embraced promotions, survived large company buyouts, worked in high growth companies and experienced organizational restructuring. My personal journey has included the joy of raising a family, coaching, volunteer work, navigating through grief and adjusting to being an empty nester.

I hold a B.S in Merchandising, M. A. in Adult Learning, an ACC with the International Coaching Federation, Graduate Coaching Certificate and SHRM-CP (Society For Human Resource Management Certified Professional).

I enjoy entertaining, hiking, snowshoeing, time with friends and family, volunteering, and zip lining. I love adventure, and especially the joy of guiding people through the change and transition process.

How can I help you?

-Karen
