As a licensed therapist in California with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and healing journeys. My practice centers on addressing trauma, addiction, family dynamics, and personal growth, with a deep commitment to empowering clients across diverse backgrounds.
I bring compassionate expertise to challenges including grief, life changes, communication difficulties, and interpersonal relationships. My approach honors each person's unique story, focusing on building self-love, understanding personal purpose, and developing resilient coping strategies.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of experiences—from supporting individuals navigating midlife transitions to helping those healing from domestic violence, addiction, and intergenerational family dynamics. I am particularly passionate about creating affirming spaces for women, caregivers, and older adults seeking meaningful personal transformation.
Through evidence-based, culturally responsive practices, I walk alongside clients as they rediscover their strength, reconnect with their inherent worth, and cultivate profound healing and self-understanding.

I’ve only had one session with Karen but I feel it was an effective session.
She is very busy and I wish she had more availability to meet.

Karen was attentive, responsive, and she is an excellent listener. She facilitates the conversation, making suggestions and sharing relevant experiences. I feel she understands me and my issues and she doesn’t try to solve my problems but instead she helps me to think critically and come up with viable options. My first session left me feeling like I could trust her to offer sound guidance and pertinent directions.

Karen supports me and my goals in a way that previous therapy did not. She challenges me to have a clear idea of what I want and how to achieve that is teamwork from there on. So pleased!

My 3rd session is this week, but I will have to say that Karen has been a GREAT therapist so far! She listens intently and has non bias ideas and suggestions. Karen also reminds me about my belief in my faith which is a blessing to hear. Her delivery is very nurturing especially when I need it the most. She is wonderful! A+++
