First session

During our first session, I would like to learn more about what brings you to therapy, your expectations for treatment, and I would also like to learn more about your strengths. I would like to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and safe. Together we will develop a treatment plan to set realistic short- and long-term goals.

Strengths

I believe some of my biggest strengths as a Counselor are promoting for my clients resiliency through the development of self-awareness and skills building to approach difficulties in life with new tools.

Ideal clients

My dream client is that person who is willing and ready to begin this self-discovery journey. Therapy is one of the bravest decisions we make for ourselves, and I would love to be part of that process along your side. I will respect your timing and your readiness to explore healing and set new personal goals to grow and find healing.

I had a wonderful time and experience working with Karlna. She really helped me grow and provided tools to support myself. She was very honest and direct with me, which helped when we had to talk about difficult conventions. Karlna had always put in great effect to helping me and was good at keeping the conversation going or giving time when needed. I honestly felt very comfortable, safe and heard talking with Karlna and always looked forward to our meetings

It's hard to find a therapist that you feel like you can open up to, but there was something about Karina that told me that I could trust her. I have been through a lot of different providers (due to insurance changes and whatnot) that made it hard to fully start to heal. I found Karina at one of my lowest times in my life. Without her help, I don't know how I would have been able to get through that time. I am and will forever be grateful for her.
