Hi there, I'm Carina!
I specialize in working with children and adults navigating transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, or feeling stuck. My therapy approach is client-centered, so I tailor treatment and each session to your unique goals and needs. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself as you heal.
My focus
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Each session is tailored to your needs and preferences to ensure it's effective and meaningful for you.
My approach
My approach is client-centered and strength-based. I believe trust and connection are key to a strong therapeutic relationship. I draw from CBT to understand how thoughts and feelings influence behavior, DBT to develop skills for managing painful emotions, and psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences shape present emotions.
