Through this platform, she promotes evidence-based, empathetic, inclusive, and diversity-affirming care.

She is also specialized in Integrative Cognitive Therapy (Aiglé Foundation – Ackerman Institute, NY) and has completed several postgraduate programs, including:
• Postgraduate Program in Giftedness: Identification and Comprehensive Intervention (UNC)
• Specialization in Giftedness for Health Professionals (AACArg)

Additionally, she is a digital content creator in mental health and neurodivergence, with a rapidly growing community of more than 17,000 followers. Through her platforms, she offers ebooks, guides, and educational resources, promoting psychoeducation and awareness through a warm, accessible, and human-centered lens that blends scientific rigor with clinical sensitivity.

In her practice, Karen aims to accompany each person in their process of self-knowledge, acceptance, and well-being, integrating psychology, art, and community as the fundamental pillars of her work.

When she is not working, she enjoys reading, crafting, spending time with her family and her dog, and developing new projects that connect psychology, creativity, and inclusion.
