More about Karen

- LMFT
I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor. I have 25 years of experience in the mental health profession. I work with children (ages 7 and up), adolescents, adults, and older adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management, substance abuse, parenting, domestic violence, and other relationship issues. I also have extensive experience working with clients with serious mental illness, such as Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, Schizophrenia, and Schizoaffective Disorders.
I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, and I am able to adapt to individual client needs. I work with culturally and ethnically diverse populations. I help my clients to develop healthy skills to cope with life stressors.
If you feel you could use some help in navigating life's many challenges, need someone who will listen to you without judging, and someone to provide honest and constructive feedback, then reach out to me and we can take steps toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
