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 has been an absolute champ. I cannot thank her enough for having lead me into the right direction - back to light!
Ive been with her since 5 months and went from absolute worst to right now a steady place in my life again. She always finds a way for me to talk about exactly the right things I need at the very time that lead me to open up to more thought processes that gradually have pathed the way to a happier place again. Forever grateful!

Katinka is truly amazing! I have been able to work through so much already in just a few weeks with her. She's such a big blessing in my life! I feel heard, understood, cared for and I feel like myself when I get to talk to her. It's such a freeing feeling to be able to get to work through all these traumas with such a kind therapist who really wants the best for you. I highly recommend her!!! 10000/10 <3

She has helped me and is extremely supportive. I'm very comfortable talking and sharing with her. She is helping me map out my future and what that may look like while providing insight into my strengths and goals.
