Karina is a bilingual Spanish-speaking associate marriage and family therapist in Santa Monica, California, specializing in child development, including work with at-risk youth, neurodivergent disorders, and developmental delays. Working from an attachment-based lens, Karina is passionate about supporting families and children experiencing conflict and a variety of stressors, including high conflict family dynamics. Karina has a strong appreciation for the relationship between the body and the brain, thus integrating mindfulness, self-regulation, and other somatic-based modalities into her work.
Karina is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which she interweaves along with mindfulness practices and somatic-based training in her work with children of all ages, adults, couples, and families.
Karina is currently providing in-person and telehealth services, and is supervised by Julie Rodin, LMFT127154.
