I am specialized in family and marital therapy, managing anxiety and depression, chemical dependency and addictions.

You are not alone. You are not broken or defective. Help is available, and the first step is admitting to yourself that you need it. My ideal client is someone who is 25+, self-identifies with one or more marginalized groups, and wants to change their life/world by starting with themself. Common concerns I work with are: LGBTQIA+, low self-esteem/self-worth, post-traumatic stress, institutional/systemic abuse/barriers, loneliness, depression, anger, dysfunctional family of origin, adjustment difficulties, childhood abuse/neglect, identity development/exploration, anxiety, hypervigilance, and difficulties connecting with others.

We are all called to evolve beyond our survival level strategies designed to cope with wounding family systems, lineages and social systems. It is possible to integrate the legacy of trauma we have inherited and thrive in this lifetime. We are collectively facing monumental global challenges, socially, politically and environmentally, that amplifies this legacy, and hastens the call for us to cultivate greater capacity to stay present, grounded and lovingly engaged. Returning to wholeness requires reorienting towards mobilizing our rich inner and outer resources, shifting from generating suffering to unlocking liberation.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (09/19/23) TELETHERAPY ONLY AT THIS TIME Life can be challenging, and unexpected changes are a part of the journey. It's okay not to be okay. You don't have to face these challenges alone. I believe in the power of human connection and the strength it takes to seek help and embark on a journey of personal growth. I work with individuals of all ages and identities who are dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and life changes.

With mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, I support clients through grief & loss, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and searching for meaning & purpose. So many of the issues that bring people to therapy are natural responses to the challenges we face as human beings. Through the process of therapy, we bring curiosity and compassion to our inner experience; and in the safety of a non-judgmental space, we explore options for understanding and growth.

My imagination is captivated by how intricate and interconnected our stories are with the world around us, both in our intimate relationships and in the culture and society in which we live. Oftentimes these stories can weave patterns of disconnection between oneself and others, leaving us feeling stuck, and in need of care and tending. In my work, I offer a heartfelt and empathic space to explore your experience in the world. Whether it’s finding self-acceptance, moving through anxiety or depression, or navigating relationship challenges, I meet you where you’re at and help you find your inner resources for healing.

Being a human being can be quite challenging! There's a saying about the mind: 'the mind is a good servant, but a cruel taskmaster!' Many of us never learned how to calm our minds, limit our worrying, and self-soothe. Mindfulness training is one of the most researched methods for learning to do this. My work with individuals helps them to become skilled in this way, and to lessen the grip of attitudes and beliefs that limit us in significant ways. I work with individuals in this way, as well as with groups.

Welcome! I believe that one of the essential ingredients of change and transformative psychotherapy is the relationship between the individual and the therapist.

Hello there! I'm Kalina, and my passion is to help guide people in their journeys back to their fullest, brightest, and most authentic selves- also known as the True Self. We all weather storms and hardship, and sometimes we are imbalanced from these experiences. This imbalance can look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. When we are imbalanced, we can feel distant from our True Self. We each have our own Inner Healer, and this part of us knows better than anyone what it is that will bring us back into balance- and bring us back to our True Self. My role is to facilitate connection with your Inner Healer, and thus, your True Self.
