My name is Karen, and I have been working in the human services field for many years in different capacities. I grew up in Hillsdale County and raised a family in Lenawee County. I graduated from Siena Heights University with a master’s degree in counseling and acquired my LLPC license. I have worked for several years in the public-school systems as a Guidance Counselor and as a Success Worker. I worked in Elementary schools for seven years and a total of 15 years in the High School setting. I have also worked in a residential setting as a counselor at the Manor Foundation, and at the Hope House. From 2009 - 2016 I worked for MVA as a substance abuse therapist and co-facilitated the Driver’s Intervention Program. In 2016 I returned to High School setting as a Success Worker working with teenagers, their parents, other staff, and homeless teens. In 2024, I started back at MVA as a therapist.
Outside of my work schedule I enjoy do-it-yourself projects, spending time outdoors, and I especially enjoy spending time with my family and two dogs that are special to me.
