About me

Hi!
My name is Katarina and love helping people. I have been working in the counseling field for over 16 years and have had the opportunity to be in a variety of settings.
I have worked in the school setting, hospital settings, community agencies and a state prison. Each area has helped me to expand my knowledge and expertise, especially as it relates to managing stress, anxiety, depression, and being healthy overall. I am passionate about people being able to live their best lives. In counseling I emphasize how taking care of yourself can influence your mood and stress.
I have a Master's in Counseling and a Doctorate degree in Behavioral Health and I am licensed in Arizona.
For fun I like to spend time with my family and friends and I like to run.

Let the Journey Begin.

I worked with Dr Olea for several months on some job and personal life related issues and choices that I was battling and causes stress and anxiety. She is always very professional and objective and asked great questions to help me get to the decisions I needed to make. She also helped me dig into some of the repeated issues we discovered and ways to work on them. I look forward to working with Dr Olea again!
