​Karlie established Amity Counseling after working with individuals referred to treatment for bipolar, domestic violence, anger, substance abuse, as well as for anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. She found that many of those individuals were struggling with relationships and dealing with diverse experiences that created stress as well.  She has seen through counseling and personal experiences the effects of drug use, inadequate parenting, dissatisfaction with work and mental illness. She also realizes how these play a role in interactions with others. Because of these experiences, she understands that exploring a variety of areas in a person's life aids in assessing and increasing well being.  Part of her enjoyment as a counselor is seeing another complete a goal, change a behavior, gain personal insights or experience an "ah ha" moment.

Karlie enjoys school and learning.  She received her Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling on March 30, 2012 from Capella University, graduating with distinction.  She loves to continue learning by attending conferences and trainings in order to gain more education in bipolar, relationships, stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and other mental health issues. Karlie also completed the Eye-Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR) training to aid in treatment of trauma.
