Hello there! My name is Karina and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. I have a passion for helping people navigate their journeys and seeing them achieve success throughout the process. With over 8 years of experience in diverse settings, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I strive to provide you with compassionate, non-judgmental, and client-centered care to empower you to reach your goals and create meaningful and lasting change.

Together, we will work towards identifying and addressing the challenges that are impacting your life and preventing you from achieving your goals.

Whether you're dealing with relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques. I am looking forward to working with you to begin the healing process together!

First session

Karina is a great therapist, she is kind, non-judgemental and deeply knowledgeable. She creates a safe, welcoming space where I feel heard and supported. She offers great advice and different techniques to help manage stress and emotions and she is able to pick up on things to help me get a better understanding of my behaviors. I highly recommend Karina.
