I am a Marriage and Family therapist working with families, individuals and couples in private practice in the Buffalo and Waconia areas of the Twin Cities.  I work with people who feel stuck and want a way to work through their current way of relating to others and themselves.  I have a passion for witnessing others growth and acceptance of themselves in new and profound ways.  EMDR is a tool that has been helpful in processing clients past traumas which keep them from living their full lives.  Please don't hesitate to call, I look forward to working with you.  Karen
