Dr. Karen Kranz, R. Psych.

Dr. Karen Kranz, R. Psych., is first generation Canadian has been a psychologist in private practice in Vancouver, Canada since 2000. Her areas of interest in AEDP are making the work with clients and therapists increasingly more relational and experiential. She is continually challenged and intrigued by core and pathogenic emotions.
