Do you currently feel you are at full capacity with life and need assistance with managing current struggles in relationships, past trauma, or grief? I assist adults who have experienced trauma and/or grief that is currently affecting their work, school, family, relationships, burn out that can lead to manifesting in addiction, further anxiety, depression and stress. Together, we can identify what's not working and improve health and well being. I also integrate mindfulness/meditation, EMDR to help you regulate emotions and lower stress to work within your window of tolerance. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, anxiety, depression I'm here to support you unconditionally and assist with guiding and providing unbiased support. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, uncomfortable and not an easy choice, I am aware of that and will do everything on my end to make the process as comfortable as possible. A safe space is needed in the healing journey and therapy is the ideal place to make that progress. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with unconditional positive support, a person center approach and evidence based practices tools to make positive change. Take the first step towards self care and schedule an appointment today!
Client's will have intake forms completed by the first session. The first session is considered a consultation where we go over basic demographic information, contact information and history for me to get to know the individual and their current needs. The client and therapist get to assess if its a good fit and if so, identify on what they would like to work on in therapy as a goal.
I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness and meditation.
I started working with severe mental illness and specialize working with people who have experienced trauma. My biggest strengths are in assisting client's in stabilizing emotionally and overcome and process their trauma experiences in order to not feel that the traumatic experience takes over their life.
I would like to focus on assisting client's who have challenges with grief and or have PTSD or past trauma.

I've been in therapy since 2019 and met with several therapists before finding Karina. From our first session, I knew I could trust her. She has created a safe, judgment-free space that helped me heal parts of myself I never thought I could. After a year together, I no longer feel broken or so afraid of the world around me. I feel grounded, stronger, and at peace. Karina has truly changed my life, and I'll always be grateful I found her.
