About Me
My name is Karina, I am a therapist, former D1 athlete, daughter, military spouse, and and anxious mid-20s human myself. I get it!
My goal is that you leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of direction. I take a person-centered approach, prioritizing a trusting relationship where you feel safe, seen, and heard.
I’m trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, Attachment work and draw from these, along with a variety of other evidence-based modalities to tailor therapy to your unique needs. I work with individuals 13+ navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, burnout, etc. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, even when things feel heavy internally.
I’ve worked at a university with college students and athletes, and in private practice specializing in anxiety and sports, so I know firsthand the pressures of performing at a high level while trying to stay grounded.
Together, we’ll explore your experiences and patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change.
You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s connect and start creating space for ease, calm, and confidence in your life.
