Sometimes our feelings and circumstances are hard to understand. Seeking help to explore those feelings is a great first step towards beginning your healing journey. I want to help you through any life challenges, difficult emotions, issues, concerns, and struggles you are experiencing. My intention is to create a safe, non-judgmental, attentive, collaborative, and creative environment for your healing journey. Helping you develop tools and practices that help you gain understanding and compassion for yourself is my goal.

Hello there, my name is Karina Gonzalez. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee working towards completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, specializing in Trauma. Working with people who have limited access to mental health care is my focus. Through my experience as a dance instructor, I have witnessed the healing powers of dance and expression as therapeutic tools. This has taught me that healing can take many forms and be found through many different avenues. I am looking forward to working with individuals and families affected by acculturative stress, immigration, and systemic issues including incarceration and poverty.

I look forward to meeting with you and helping you continue your journey of healing and recovery.
