About me

Aloha! I am delighted that you found me! I am a clinical social worker and an educator, deeply committed to embrace and empower those I work with towards living fuller, richer lives. I offer individuals a safe, supportive, encouraging, non-judgmental, and nurturing space where they may explore and grow. I help clients, by empowering them to take charge of their lives. My role is to illuminate the path to their ideal future. As a therapist, I draw inspiration from many sources, and have found that an integration of approaches and practices that are uniquely curated to each person and family tend to be especially effective in bringing about truly meaningful and sustainable change.

As an EMDR trained therapist, I help clients process painful life experiences that continue to impact them. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a well-researched, integrative approach, that has been proven effective for the treatment of trauma. It utilizes the innate growth and healing mechanisms of the human nervous system. Clients report that they have received amazing benefits from EMDR. There is nothing more powerful for clearing trauma, abuse, and associated symptoms, including anxiety, depression, stress and grief. I also offer other therapeutic modalities, such as solution focused and psychodynamic therapy. With a Jungian perspective and being an educator of myth, I often integrate myths, archetypes, and dreamwork into my clinical work.

It takes courage to face and embrace change. I believe that we are wired for wellness and integration, and that our innate resilience and ability to heal is greater than we can fathom. I help clients create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It is through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. I offer my expertise and guidance to help connect clients to that which they hold as most important. You deserve to receive competent, non-judgmental, and compassionate guidance when reaching for those goals. My services are personalized to suit individual needs. Let me assist you in discovering the depths of your personal power and positive change towards a more fulfilling and happier life.Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy, trust, and grow. Let’s begin the process of healing!

Katinka is warm, engaging, and supportive. She has been an excellent help for many months as I was going through some of the toughest times of my life. Her wisdom, positive attitude and encouragement are uplifting and valuable. I highly recommend her and Betterhelp.

I love the work and support I get from Kantika. She is super accurate in pointing the things I need to see, and I m always looking forward for a session with her.
She is joyful and have a great sens of humour, this is for me very valuable as it is a great way to calm down the dramas I experience.
I am evolving, and learning how to put my boundaries and feel better with myself.
I recommend her 100/100!

It’s been a year now with Katinka - what started with needing to navigate through grief and loss initially became so much more than that. From finally being able to struck a great relationship with my mum after 38 years of not getting along at all, to understanding myself better and what my needs are, Katinka has helped me a great deal in so many ways. I’ve been doing a lot of shadow work and with Katinka on my side to keep me on track, I feel I’m achieving a much better life quality in the long run. Can’t recommend her enough!
