HEART-CENTERED THERAPY

Connected & Authentic Living

Hi! I’m a Heart-Centered Therapist, dream specialist, and author based in Newport Beach. My approach to therapy is inspired by Graceful Dreaming and Balanced Living.

Anna-Karin Bjorklund, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #134309

Do you feel exhausted from constantly seeking approval, perfection, or reassurance? Or do you feel stressed, lost, and perhaps like you don’t quite recognize yourself lately?

The good news is that life doesn’t have to be this hard. During times of uncertainty, change, and stress, it’s easy to feel like we’re constantly failing, no matter how hard we try. We may experience disconnection, self-doubt, and a lack of direction. I help visionary leaders, deep-feeling creatives, and compassionate mothers deepen their inner connection, feel good enough, and lead more authentic, connected, purposeful, and peaceful lives.

I help guide you here and now—as you listen to your inner wisdom, embrace your dreams and unconscious patterns, practice self-compassion, transform limiting beliefs, process traumatic events, and relax with soothing breathing practices.

As your therapist, I listen to you. I listen carefully to who you are, what you feel—and most importantly, how you'd like to feel.

My office is located in the vibrant heart of Newport Beach's Fashion Island. Designed as a quiet sanctuary, my private and confidential office is easily accessible, with ample parking.

I specialize in helping individuals navigating:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Trauma

  • Grief

  • Low Self-Worth

  • Low Creativity

  • A Lack of Purpose & Direction

  • Life Transitions, Career Challenges, and Relationship Transitions

My approach is compassionate and present, integrating psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, Jungian-informed dreamwork, HeartMath, meditation, and mindfulness. I help you listen to your inner caring voice, guiding you to remember your inner peace. If you wish to invite spirituality, I create space for you to embrace your faith.

I invite you to gently embrace a more heart-centered life grounded in self-compassion, authenticity, and inner balance—and remembering that you matter.

I invite you to schedule a free consultation call where we can have a heart-centered conversation and explore if we are a good fit, and if therapy feels right for you.

I specialize in working with clients ages 18-64.

Are you a Dreamer?

Got creativity on the mind?

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness - it demonstrates your courage to honor your true story.

By exploring what may be weighing you down, you create room to reconnect with what brings you joy, meaning, and fulfillment. With both EMDR, visualization practices, and dreamwork, it is not uncommon for clients to report feeling more creative and inspired.
