Often rebooked
I am a bilingual, bi-cultural psychotherapist based in California, offering therapy in both English and Spanish. I am passionate about helping individuals process and heal their childhood wounds as these early experiences can have a huge impact throughout the course of our lives and can manifest in several different ways, such as, relationship issues, addictions, mental health struggles, or create challenges in navigating life transitions.
My sessions are typically open-ended and guided by curiosity, compassion, and careful attention to emotions as they arise in the present moment.
Therapy should not be an intimidating process and I believe my biggest strength is being able to provide a judgment-free, comfortable environment for my clients to self-explore and self-reflect. I am very passionate about the work that I do and I experience a great sense of gratitude at being able to assist and witness my client's healing journeys.
I enjoy working with adults, adolescents 15+ or entering young adulthood, the lgbtq+ community, and simply any individuals seeking to address what is impeding them from living their best quality of life.
Psychodynamic
My work is primarily grounded in a psychodynamic approach. Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and relationship dynamics shape their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My hope is to help you create long term, lasting change by assisting you in increasing self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and a stronger sense of self.
Attachment-based
I utilize attachment-based therapy to help individuals identify their attachment style and the effect it has on their relationships.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I provide a non-judgemental environment in order for clients to feel safe and comfortable to self-explore and develop insight into their past and current struggles.

Karen is by far the best therapist I've had!

I've been with Karen for nearly 6 months and she is a great listener, has a good understanding of my challenges in life, and is able to provide me feedback at my own pace. Her super hero power is asking me thought provoking questions at just the right time to help me with my own breakthroughs in therapy. I would highly recommend her!
