Great to meet you!

I’m Karina, a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. I specialize in working with first-generation immigrants, college students, and children dealing with emotional struggles. With certifications in EMDR, TF-CBT, PCIT, and the Gottman Method, I bring a compassionate, structured approach to therapy, helping clients navigate challenges and find balance in their lives.

My approach to therapy

My therapy approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s needs. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to help you gain insight, manage stress, and build healthier patterns. My style is supportive yet direct, providing a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and work toward meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Expect a journey of growth and healing. Together, we’ll work on quieting negative voices, managing anxiety, and building resilience. You’ll leave each session with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges, whether it’s improving relationships, healing from trauma, or reducing stress. My goal is for you to feel empowered and more in control of your life.
