About Karin ... PsyD, LPC, GCG, ACS, E-RYT 500

Why Should I Consider Karin for my needs? 

Karin’s approach to healing acknowledges the client’s inherent wisdom to both identify and resolve on-going challenges while also recognizing the benefits of walking the path together.  Establishing a healthy therapeutic relationship awakens your innate orientation toward health and growth and can bring to the forefront ways in which disowned beliefs drive our interactions with family, intimate partners, colleagues and our community at large. 

She does this by:

• Her therapeutic approach which is informed by hatha yoga, multicultural perspectives, somatic & contemplative psychotherapy, as well as principle's of neuroscience.
• Maintaining a well established personal practice grounded in the rich tradition of non-dual philosophies arising from the East, like Buddhism and Yoga, which emphasis mindfulness and compassion.    
• Helping you get in touch with your thoughts and feelings, find ways to engage directly with reactive emotions and discover sources of strength to live life more gracefully.  

By acknowledging a client’s inherent wisdom and walking the path together, the client will immediately have tools to creatively identify, explore, and expand into new answers, finding pathways to resolve issues, new or old.  She works with individuals and groups, in Spanish or English, addressing emotional and/or physical trauma, depression and anxiety.
