YOUR MENTAL WELLNESS IS MY PASSION
Hi, I'm Karleen!
I'm happy you've come across my page and that you are considering taking better care of your mental health.
For almost 15 years I've enjoyed working with clients from all walks of life. I know that considering mental health and wellness coaching might be a little unnerving because you probably have
no idea what to expect. Totally understandable.
Here's what I can assure you..
I provide as safe and non- judgmental environment where you can speak freely and honestly about your feelings, emotions and life's struggles that are getting in the way of living as your best self.
There may be some tears. But also some laughs accompanied by a much better understanding of self than you may have never taken the time to understand.
I'll be your biggest cheerleader. All I ask from you, is to commit to yourself and the process.
I am a fully certified Life Coach specializing in mental wellness.
In my practice, I apply CBT, (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and Talk Therapy during our sessions. My proven framework is tailored to your specific needs.
My area of expertise is working with clients who struggle with:
stress management, feelings of overwhelm, self-confidence, self worth, communication, moodiness, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, lack of boundaries, people pleasing, women's issues +
These types of struggles will impact all areas of one's life and so..
I'm here to help!

Author
In 2019, I published my very first book, A Mother's Love - The unfamiliar warnings signs of mental illness.
This book is my heart on paper display. I share my very personal and painful journey of being a mother of a teenaged son who battled with mental illness.
It is a project I am extremely proud of and even more so when parents reach out to tell me how my journey has helped them understand that they are not alone. Many also share they have become much more aware of the warning signs that parents (and others) often overlook.
It is a book of pain, awareness and most of all, hope.
I continue to enjoy working with young people who want nothing more than to become the best version of themselves.
Advocate
MENTAL HEALTH:
I am very passionate about mental health advocacy. Having it impact not only my son but also myself in my later adult years makes the topic extremely personal. Often having to be my son's voice in order to get the attention and treated he needed, I learned first hand the negative attitude and stigma that comes with having a mental illness.
Because of this, I have welcomed the opportunities I've had to speak to audiences in different settings about how the impact of mental illness and being mentally unwell, at different times in our lives can play a major role in quality of life. I also share the power of becoming a part of the movement to stop the bias opinions and the stigma it carries.
As a business owner, I celebrate and bring awareness to supporting mental health throughout the calendar year. It's become a part of my DNA.
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS:
As a 2x breast cancer survivor,
I've spent years in treatment fighting to survive. Since then, I am so grateful to say, I have been cancer free and in remission since December 2023!
Diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, (TNBC) I've learned it is a rare, aggressive and difficult to treat type of cancer. It is also a fact that black women are "disproportionately affected" by this type of breast cancer and are much more likely to die from it compared to white women with the same diagnosis.
Because of this, I make it a priority to share my story and to help educate other women and bring awareness to the importance of early screening and detection. I've enjoyed taking part as a Guest Speaker and Panelist at several events and look forward to continuing to speared the word within my community.
