Throughout my three decades as a therapist, I have discovered that one of the most important skills I have developed is the ability to listen deeply. Along the way, I have gained a broad range of therapeutic tools and approaches, but I have learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard. My mentors are the horse whisperers. I believe they listen with their whole body. They trust the intuitive nature of their horse. I like to think that I use some of this as I work with each client, trusting their intuitive nature. Together we are learning what is present in the room, gaining new insights and feeling more empowered.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 10 years of experience in working with adolescents and adults with major focus on anxiety and depression.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

Welcome. I’m Karen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions.
My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I support clients in developing healthy boundaries, strengthening communication skills, and identifying coping strategies that genuinely fit their lives. Together, we work toward healing, personal growth, and greater emotional balance.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move through life’s challenges with confidence and intention.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and free of judgment; a place where you feel truly seen and emotionally safe. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t just help you understand why you feel the way you do; I help you build real tools to navigate it.
I earned my degree from Cal State Fullerton and have extensive experience working in addiction treatment, eating disorder recovery, and women’s issues. Supporting women is especially meaningful to me. I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate challenges related to self-worth, body image, relationships, boundaries, life transitions, and identity. I understand how trauma, societal expectations, and relational dynamics can shape how women see themselves, and I approach this work with both compassion and clarity.
Together, we focus on strengthening mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I blend insight-oriented exploration with concrete strategies, because meaningful change happens when insight meets action. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, feel more confident managing your emotions, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mission Viejo
Searching for therapists in Mission Viejo starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or stress. If you are searching for teenage therapy near me, counselors for teens near me, or marriage counseling Mission Viejo, look for profiles that list experience with adolescents, couples, families, or the specific concern you want to address. Therapist bios can also show whether someone uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Mission Viejo has local therapy options, and nearby communities like Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, and Lake Forest may add more choices. In a smaller city, virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Mission Viejo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Headway lets you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, filter by preferences, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
