I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who struggle with poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindful Self Compassion Therapy to help clients identify and meet their treatment goals.

I felt at ease the moment I met Prynzessin. Her demeanor was pleasant and kind. She listens and asks questions. Most importantly, she LISTENS, then asks questions and offers suggestions, etc. I feel comfortable with Prynzessin and can discuss all my concerns with her without prejudice. I highly recommend her.

I'm Katia, and my primary focus is working with individuals who experience anxiety, stress, depression, and general life adjustment issues. I believe it's important to learn how to practice self-awareness so when difficult situations occur, we have a better sense of how to handle things, and hopefully, increased feelings of being in control.
