New clients continue care with this provider

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!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

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.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

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.
