Hello, I’m Katrina. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, families, and adults in the private, outpatient settings. I strive to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and achieve personal growth. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, where each client’s unique needs and strengths are honored. I use an eclectic approach tailored to each client’s individual needs. Some modalities I utilize are mindfulness approaches, person-centered, expressive arts therapy, positive psychology, DBT, and CBT.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will take the time to explore what brings you to therapy, understand your background, and develop goals for our work together in therapy. I will ask open-ended questions to understand your experiences and give you the space to share any questions or concerns about the therapeutic experience. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, validated, and equipped with a course of action by the end of our session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a warm and safe environment for my clients to be open and vulnerable. I balance that warmth with directness as needed and help develop insight into your inner world that promotes real change. I am an active listener who helps clients feel safe and understood while also challenging unhealthy beliefs and stuck points. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and coping skills to help clients develop resilience and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s ups and downs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is particularly effective for individuals who are motivated for treatment and eager to collaborate on improving their mental health.
