LMFT, 7 years of experience
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 7 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. 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!
During our first session, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard and supported. It will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another and help me better understand what brings you into therapy. We will work together to set goals around your unique needs.
I integrate various evidence-based treatment methods and tools to best meet your needs. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), managing and adapting practice (MAP), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TFCBT), I provide a comprehensive approach to therapy. This integrative approach allows us to tailor the therapy process to your specific goals and preferences.
My commitment is to empower my clients to navigate life's ups and downs with confidence and resilience. I am dedicated to helping them develop the necessary tools and strategies to overcome obstacles, improve their mental well-being, and ultimately create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families as they work through a wide range of issues including traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety.

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.
