Karen Harris

I specialize in the reduction of anxiety and navigating life transitions.

Hello! I’m Karen

MS, LPC, NCC

Before becoming a licensed counselor I worked for over a decade as a teacher, guidance counselor and mental health counselor in the public school setting. This gave me an extensive knowledge of human development and family dynamics. I have three amazing grown children who are my deepest joy and greatest achievement. In my free time I enjoy gardening, being involved in community theatre and being out in nature.
