Karel is a licensed mental health therapist based in Portland, Oregon, with virtual services available throughout Oregon and Washington. Her therapy approach is a blend of attachment theory, insight-based processing, and mindfulness, and her clinical philosophy is based on psychodynamic, humanistic, and Buddhist principles. The passion she brings to her therapy practice comes from years of her own transformative healing, which gives her a deep understanding of the roots of human suffering.
She sees you as a whole person affected by external circumstances rather than someone who is ill, broken, or disordered. The therapeutic relationship is central to her work with you, and you will find her to be warm, curious, compassionate, and most of all, loving and human.
Her areas of specialty are:
Karel has dedicated her life to personal and spiritual growth and lives by tenets of mindfulness, curiosity, compassion, and determination. In addition to her therapy practice, she runs a knitting company for design and teaching, cares for an incredibly special dog named Willa, and tends to the mind through Vipassana meditation.
