Sitting with many hundreds of stories of emotional pain, disappointments, self-criticism, grief and bereavement, searches for answers to the deepest questions, as well as thousands of moments of important discoveries, new hopes and responsible choices, Karina learned that living well is an art.
The aim of her work to assist people in developing and consolidating their personal way of tackling life’s challenges so that they can find their own way again. She will be there to help to reassess the direction in which you are going. Learning to face the inevitable problems, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.
