More about Karina
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I work with adults navigating big life transitions—endings, beginnings, and the in-between spaces where old patterns no longer fit and new possibilities are emerging. Clients describe me as warm and direct. I care deeply, ask clarifying questions, and may suggest practices between sessions. I draw from both research and timeless approaches, viewing depression, anxiety, and trauma not as pathologies but as signals from the psyche. I enjoy helping clients find clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose.
