I’m Karina Flores, a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges and transitions.
I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck during a major life change. Sometimes you know exactly what brought you to therapy, and other times you just know that something needs to change. Both are valid places to begin.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, feel heard and understood, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and build greater confidence and resilience. My goal is not to tell you what you should do, but to help you explore what is working, what isn’t, and what you want for your life moving forward.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you as you work toward feeling more grounded, capable, and connected to the life you want.
