Karmen Tuivai, LCSW
Welcome to Magnolia Tree Counseling. I created Magnolia Tree to provide individuals with a safe space to find healing. I believe that you have everything within yourself to discover your best self. It takes courage to begin therapy, and I will guide you in increasing your self-worth and becoming the person you are meant to be - your authentic you!
As a person with the lived experience of OCD, I know what it is like to struggle with perfectionism and anxiety about worst-case scenario possibilities. I have had a personal journey with grief and loss; I have become a "grief nerd" and try to find all the ways to work through my own sadness. Finding EMDR is one of the ways I have found relief from the sudden and unexpected losses in my life.
My dreams include traveling. I read a lot, and I love to blog. I am passionate about life, interested in meeting and making connections with other people, and I dream about my next traveling adventure!
