My name is Karinne and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I have worked with individuals facing addiction and mental health related issues for 8 years. A majority of my experience has been working with adults and young adults in Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Centers and Psychiatric Hospitalization. I am skilled at helping young people overcome difficulties understanding their thoughts and feelings and how they relate to behaviors. I am experienced counseling those who experience stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and LGBTQ+ challenges. I believe in building relationships based off of trust and respect. I am an empathetic therapist with a strong focus on building rapport, active listening, effective communication and non-judgmental feedback. I believe in treating the whole person- mentally, physically and spiritually (whatever your definition of that is or is not). I am willing to meet every individual exactly where they are using an empowerment and solution focused approach with the understanding that each individual has the opportunity to decide which method works best for them. My therapeutic approach is accepting of all people regardless of identification, sexuality, race, ethnicity or cultural background. It is my utmost belief that every person deserves to be happy and I am honored to be a part of your personal journey.
