Hi! I am Karen and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have 11 years of experience in the field working with adults, babies, and adolescents. I have specialized in treating trauma, breaking negative behavior patterns (bad habits), and helping people gain joy and build better relationships with those they care about. I have extensive experience in attachment therapy (CPP), trauma therapy (EMDR), family therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. My focus is to help you achieve the life you want, and feel peace and joy in your daily life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships and what brought them to therapy. Through this understanding we create goals and coping skills to create lasting change. We explore their desires for the future and focus on attaining the life that is meaningful to them in the present. During our first session you can expect to understand the process of therapy, develop goals that are meaningful to you, and leave with one or two tips on how to begin working on what brought you to therapy in the first place.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My clients describe me as warm, caring, open, supportive, understanding, and helpful. I am not afraid of calling things out as they are, and I pride myself in being an open and honest therapist that will encourage you to be the best version of yourself.
