Hello, I’m Karyn, a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. If you’re seeking a therapist who believes in the transformative power of connection—someone who meets you with kindness, curiosity, and respect—we may be a great fit. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and therapy offers you a place to be seen, understood, and held with care. Where you can reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost, creating deeper, more authentic relationships with yourself and others.
My priority is to foster a safe space for you to explore your experiences, express emotions as they arise, and challenge unhelpful patterns and beliefs. Together, we’ll uncover parts of you that have been silenced, untangle old stories, and shift patterns that no longer serve you. Reconnecting you with your inner wisdom and self-trust, bringing clarity and purpose back into focus. Ultimately my goal is to help you feel grounded in your deepest self—unlocking the clarity, creativity, and authenticity that empowers you to move through life with confidence and freedom. In our first session, we’ll start the conversation by exploring what’s brought you to therapy and what feels most important in this moment. This isn’t a checklist of questions but an opportunity for us to collaborate and assess if we’re a good fit. You’ll get a sense of how we might work together, and from there, we’ll begin shaping a path forward aligned with your needs.
One of my greatest strengths is holding space for both depth and practicality. I help clients explore the emotional and relational forces shaping their lives while offering concrete tools for meaningful change. My background in creative leadership allows me to approach identity shifts, transitions, and self-expression with a blend of intuition and grounded insight. I bring empathy, authenticity, and heart to my work, always seeing the beauty and goodness in people—even when they may struggle to see it themselves. As a creative and intuitive guide, I weave together patterns and insights that might initially seem disconnected. I believe that even in the messiness of change, something true is always emerging, and therapy is a space to nurture that unfolding. Our work together will be a collaborative, dynamic process where we engage our imaginations, explore different perspectives, and approach healing relationally. I am not a blank slate; I am another human in the room, deeply attuned to your humanity, holding you with love and respect. I welcome feedback to ensure our work remains meaningful and alive, supporting your growth with warmth and presence.
I support individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, life and career transitions, creative blocks, or managing symptoms due to anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and unresolved trauma. I have a particular affinity for creative minds, sensitive souls, and those who move through the world in their own unique way—people who think deeply, feel intensely, and long to live with greater clarity, self-trust, and purpose. Additionally, I understand the complexities women face in the workplace, balancing ambition with authenticity and navigating high-performance environments. With my experience as a creative leader and coach, I’m especially attuned to leaders, founders, and creatives who are facing burnout or seeking to integrate more meaning into their work.
Trained in depth-oriented psychodynamic therapy, I help clients understand how past experiences influence present relationships, emotions, and patterns of being.
Through a relational lens and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I guide clients in reconnecting with both their inner and outer worlds. By unburdening wounded parts and deepening self-awareness, they cultivate greater authenticity, resilience, and connection.
I incorporate mindfulness and somatic experience, helping clients tune into physical sensations, emotions, and unconscious patterns—bridging insight with embodied change.
Rather than just analyzing the past, my approach encourages clients to experience and process emotions in real-time, allowing for deeper integration and self-trust.
I am comprehensively trained in DBT and incorporate practical skills into depth-oriented work, helping clients navigate intense emotions, build resilience, and create more balanced, stable, fulfilling relationships.
