Hi there, I'm Karin! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California. I’m a warm and down-to-earth therapist who provides a safe space to explore your concerns in a respectful non-judgmental atmosphere, providing a place in which you can feel comfortable to be you. My focus I have had success with client's who are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress. I will support your growth through listening, educating you about emotional and nervous system regulation to lower anxiety and stress. It is my intention that you will gain something meaningful from each session. My approach My approach is compassionate, strength based, and empowering. We will work together to improve your mental health and well-being by building insight, learning coping strategies to move towards a better version of yourself. I hold a certificate in Neuro-Psychotherapy which helps me inform and educate my clients about the brain body connection. My communication style I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can be your true self. I am here as a trusted partner that you can confide in. If you're looking for someone who is approachable, is easy to connect with, interactive and who will give you honest feedback in a caring and respectful way, then I may be the right therapist for you. My journey to mental healthcare As a teenager I was really struggling & didn’t know where to turn. I knew there had to be a way but didn’t know how. It was at that time I vowed that when I grew up, I would help people who were struggling. I have worked many years being a Social Worker supporting people from all walks of life, & would be happy to be considered as your therapist.
