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!

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!

In my few weeks working with Katinka, I have already noticed more confidence in myself. The worksheets she provides are extremely helpful for me to reflect on myself and how I handle different situations. I have a tendency to go off on tangents, and she is very good at directing the conversation to portions of my life that are most beneficial to talk about and gives great advice on how to think through different circumstances.

Katinka is a joy to work with. She has taken the time to understand my unique situation, and seems to hold that in her heart and mind from one session to the next. I have never felt she has oversimplified or squeezed me into a mould. Instead the asks thoughtful questions that help me more deeply explore and find a peace with the nuances of my situation in a non judgmental, light and friendly way. She also gives me helpful worksheets to reflect on between sessions.

I love accessible she is, and how easy it was so start expressing myself to her. My schedule may get busy, but Katinka is always available to chat when needed.
