Hi there, I'm Karina!
I have been working in various mental health agencies. I have extensive experience working with individual clients who have been diagnosed with PTSD, bereavement, depression, anxiety, and ADD.
My focus
I have discovered that my approach often meshes well with issues such as mild to moderate depression, mild to moderate anxiety, Bipolar II Disorder, PTSD, and substance misuse issues.
My approach
I use varied approaches to therapy, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and narrative approaches. My emphasis is to teach trauma-sensitive coping skills using Seeking Safety 12-step modalities and to help clients create their narrative story to focus compassion for the past and empowerment to create a better future.
