Great to meet you!

I am Karina a psychotherapist passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and thrive. With a Master’s in Counseling and Guidance and over 20 years of experience in mental health, education, and family counseling, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to every session.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, integrating evidence-based practices such as EMDR, Gottman Method Couples therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to support healing and connection. For those seeking spiritual integration, I also offer Christian faith-based therapy, honoring the importance of faith in the healing process.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. Together, we will explore your concerns, identify goals, and begin creating a plan that supports your needs. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe, heard, and understood as we work toward meaningful growth and healing.
