LMFT, 7 years of experience
I am a bilingual, bi-cultural psychotherapist (LMFT) based in California. I have the capability to provide therapy in both English and Spanish and I have 7 years of experience practicing as a psychotherapist. I am very passionate about the work that I do and I am grateful for the individuals who allow me to be a part of their healing journey.
In our first session together, I will get a brief overview of what brings you to therapy, and you will also get to learn more about me and my therapeutic approach. The focus of our first session will be to build rapport with one another in order to create a comfortable and safe environment for you to be able to dive deeper into the issues addressed in future sessions.
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 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.
I utilize Psychodynamic psychotherapy to help individuals process and heal their childhood wounds that continue to impact them throughout the course of their lives.
I utilize attachment-based therapy to help individuals identify their attachment style and the effect it has on their relationships.
I provide non-judgemental environment in order for clients to feel safe and comfortable to self-explore and develop insight into their past and current struggles.

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!
