Hello, I'm Katina. From a very young age, I discovered the benefits of mindfulness-based meditation practices. These practices have helped me overcome anxiety, depression, abuse, paralysis, and recovery. After graduating college, I discovered the wonderful world of social work. This path helped fuel my passion for helping others recover from their challenges. I discovered that there was not a one-size-fits-all when working with my clients. With over 25 years of intentional learning about the mind, body, and spirit connections, I am able to help clients tap into their own natural healing with greater ease and discover inner peace and self-love.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. My approach to therapy is holistic, focusing on the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the power of individualized care and strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space for my clients.
I specialize in a wide range of areas including addiction, ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, anxiety, autism spectrum support, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, grief/bereavement, intimate/romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, medical issues/physical health, military/veteran support, multicultural/diversity issues, narcissistic personality disorder, perinatal support (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum), PTSD, sex/intimacy issues, sleep disorders, spirituality, stress, and trauma. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth for those who prefer virtual sessions.
When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative approach. I am here to support you in navigating life's challenges and to help you find your own path to healing and growth. Together, we will explore your unique strengths and work towards achieving your personal goals.
Outside of my professional life, I am deeply committed to my own mindfulness practices and enjoy exploring the connections between mind, body, and spirit. These practices not only enrich my personal life but also inform my therapeutic approach, allowing me to bring a deeper level of empathy and understanding to our sessions.
If you are ready to embark on a journey towards healing and self-discovery, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create the life you envision.
