Anna-Karin Bjorklund, LMFT #134309, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, a dream specialist, inspirational speaker, and author. With a heart-centered approach to therapy, she specializes in helping individuals remember their authentic Self by transforming limiting beliefs and unconscious programming through EMDR and dream work.

She helps clients who don't feel good enough, may relive painful memories, feel unable to move forward, or find themselves stuck in unconscious patterns and held back by limiting beliefs. She works with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and low self-worth who may no longer feel like themselves and feel disconnected from their true paths and sense of purpose.

She draws inspiration from the depth of psychodynamic therapy with compassionate dream explorations, the transformational healing of EMDR, the peaceful presence of humanistic traditions, and the quiet calm of mindfulness. Within a warm and calm space, you are met with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and nonjudgment. She invites you to embrace your dreams – gently guiding you to cultivate a deeper connection with your dreams and inner wisdom. Your dreams offer deep insight into limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns.

A well-known dream specialist and the author of two books on dreams and soul growth, she previously served as Board Chair of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and as a Dream Specialist at Miraval Life in Balance Spa. She is also a member of the Authors Guild.
