Hi, I’m Karina, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over six years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, parent-child relationships, and behavioral sleep concerns. I have extensive training in evidence-based approaches, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and I use a collaborative, practical approach to help children and families build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop skills that support lasting change. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients and families feel understood and empowered throughout the therapy process.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy works best when clients feel understood, supported, and actively involved in the process, so I work together with each client to identify their goals and develop strategies that fit their individual needs and everyday life. When working with children and families, I focus on strengthening relationships, building emotional and behavioral skills, and helping parents feel more confident in responding to challenging behaviors. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT and PCIT while adapting treatment to each client’s developmental level, strengths, and unique circumstances.

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where you can share what brings you to therapy at your own pace. We’ll talk about your current concerns, strengths, goals, and what you hope to get out of therapy, while I learn more about your background and what may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing. Together, we’ll begin identifying practical goals and an approach that feels appropriate for your needs. You can expect a collaborative conversation without judgment, with time to ask questions and make sure therapy
