About Katrina
She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Mindfulness-based practices help when worry and overwhelming feelings get in the way of daily life.
Katrina has ten years of clinical experience in a variety of settings. That background informs how she supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She also works with people affected by cancer, addiction, chronic pain, and the emotional strain of aging.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small, achievable changes. Conversations move between understanding past patterns and trying practical strategies for today. Katrina also uses narrative and motivational approaches to help people see options and strengthen their commitment to change.
She practices in California and conducts work in English. Katrina understands grief and end-of-life questions as part of her practice areas and can help people process loss and plan for meaningful time with loved ones.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping the pace of work around what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort priorities in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises and homework that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to manage stress and overwhelming emotions. These short practices can be used anytime someone notices rising worry or fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try new tools while keeping the work relevant to daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and support work on thought records, mindfulness exercises, and behavioral experiments between meetings. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to choose what will work best for regular practice and follow-up.
