About Me
As a professional, I've worked alongside lawyers, corporate executives, start-ups, and hospitals, drawing from my clinical training. With a Master’s in Business Management and Behavioral Science, I bridge the gap between human behavior and business strategy to drive growth and change.
Beyond my professional expertise, I bring a rich cultural background, having lived across Europe, the Middle East, and America. This global experience allows me to connect deeply with diverse clients, offering a unique perspective on healing and personal development.
My coaching style combines the mental toughness of David Goggins with the compassionate approach of Dr. Irvin Yalom. I help clients map their needs, break free from analysis paralysis, and manage risks in decision-making. My work in relationships is tailored to each dynamic, developing customized coping skills, stress management techniques, and crisis solutions. I shift the focus from problems to solutions, helping clients reframe their narratives for lasting change.
I emphasize goal-setting and create actionable, step-by-step plans to achieve them. My approach is direct yet empathetic, results-driven yet adaptable. I hold clients accountable while guiding them toward self-sufficiency, helping them overcome fears and obstacles. Together, we build resilience, stronger coping mechanisms, and flexible strategies to achieve personal and professional growth.

Karina was very helpful with finding business opportunities, marketing, and technology. She was very encouraging and down to earth.

Karina is by far one of the best coaches we worked with on our marriage. She helped my husband and I find a level of understanding and communication that allowed us to move forward with our marriiage. She is very direct and holds you accountable, but she is also attentive, checks in between sessions and makes sure that we felt understood. I highly recommend Karina if you're looking for a relationship coach!

I have seen many therapists throughout my life. None compare to Karina, and the significance of the work we have done/ are continuing to do together. Working with Karina has had a massive impact on every aspect of my life, it's truly hard to capture in words the totality of what she has coached me through. It has been life changing/life affirming, and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths with her. Thank you, thank you, thank you Karina

I have tried so many mental health professionals for my son, and no one understood him for years. Karina found a common language with him and shes motivating him and me to make healthy changes. Shes a game changer!!
Changed my sons life!!
Very well rounded coach and professional. Karina was able to work through our marriage in a way no one else has in the past and we went through over 11 therapists in the last 20 years. She holds you accountable, asks very deeply rooted questions and has the experience to address issues with research, knowledge and suggestions. She helped us see our marriage for what it is, I highly recommend her!

I struggled with my child who was diagnosed with ADHD trying to understand what he is going through and how to help him. Karina is phenomenal, it was like she was able to see inside his brain and explain how it works. She has been a great support system in helping me to improve our relationship and providing real life advice to help him improve.

Karina is a godsend. At the darkest time of my life, I was seeking counseling and a friend recommended her to me. The validation, the honesty, the openness with her is priceless. She has knowledge of so many different areas- grief, trauma, addiction- even some law hints here and there. She is truly an amazing person to have on your side. I learned coping tools; I found my confidence and self-worth again. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with her.
Liz
Absolutely amazing. I got my life back because of Karina. I jokingly say "everyone needs a Karina in their life" She helped me gain purpose again and feel a life worth living. She is the most incredible woman I have ever met. I am so blessed to have encountered her when I needed her most.

Karina is beyond excellent ! Never have I thought as a successful young professional woman that life will lead me to a path of self growth self exploration. Karina has a brilliant mind ! I have grown so much in the past year , she is challenging and therefor the results are beyond successful. She is engaging as this is necessary to create a safe space for you and she is deeply intelligent and experienced, which ensures she will give you the most strategic and effective pathway forward as you work together to address life's questions and challenges. Karina is also well educated and when this is combined with her experience and her training, it makes for a powerful scenario where you will undoubtedly know that she will not rest until she can apply all that she brings to your situation. In other words, she know how to make her training, education, and experience work for you. Life changer for me and I will continue having her in my life as long as she is available. My highest recommendation.

Karina has helped me through many of life's challenges. Through life with a newborn, navigating parental challenges, and helping interpret my in laws and my husband, on occasion. She has done so with encouragement, kindness and love. We have worked through past traumas and current issues helping me learn about me and how I tick, but also embarking on a journey of self discovery giving me a confidence I never knew I could have. I am blessed to have connected with her and the work we've done together is invaluable and I'm a better person for having her in my life.

I would recommend Karina to everyone. She is kind, patient, understanding, and very personable. There was never a time I felt like i needed to hold back and she made me feel so comfortable. Above all, she made me feel like I can do anything and was the support I didnt know I needed to get through tough times.
Elizabeth
There are no words to describe how much Karina has helped me and my family. She is very professional all while keeping a warm and friendly atmosphere. She has completely changed my life in so many ways. My self confidence is growing, my direction in life is more clear and I feel like a better mom. I owe this all to Karina.
Mary G
I started working with Karina when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I felt stuck, had lack of motivation and really bad anxiety, bad! Karina was able to help me work through my anxiety which allowed me to move forward and get back to myself. She's honest and she's really good at putting the puzzle pieces together.
Thomas J
Karina is the only professional I have ever worked with that actually touches base after sessions, and makes herself available outside of our work together. I was facing divorce, a difficult job transition and a medical diagnosis that was really scared to deal with and she's a solid and creative coach. She is full of analogies, a great sense of humor and she's very relatable. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
Valentina M.
Working with Karina throughout the years has been a very positive experience for me. She is very good at looking at situations with fresh and forward facing eyes. This has helped me a lot with staying centered and grounded. Her suggestions and advice keep things real but also have helped me immensely with inner growth. Not one to sugar coat, she shoots it to you straight, but always with acceptance and warmth. I would highly recommend her as a coach and therapist.
Keri Steen
Karinas precise and direct advice completely transformed the way I focused on my business. She held me accountable and her advice and suggestions transcended past my business and flowed into my personal life. From the logistics to the execution, she sees the whole broad range goals and picture and elevates you in a nurturing yet firm manner to help you reach greatness. Her coaching and mentoring has not only grown my business, but has helped me grow as a professional and person. Highly recommended!!
Danielle
Karina cares about her clients and is amazingly thorough. She's very solution focused and will work as hard as her clients to seek growth for them. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs coaching or mentoring.

Great experience. Made me feel at ease and very comfortable to talk to. Will never change her.
Ami Mollinedo
Karina! Seriously, one of the best professionals I've ever worked with, period. She holds you accountable and yet nurtures you. She always has a strategy, a plan and she's very well rounded. My career path completely changed and I am in an amazing place. I highly recommend Karina!

Karina is an empowering coach. She gets right into the work and every session is packed with exactly what you need. She has this awesome way of relating and really understanding my needs. Her experience in the business world is extremely helpful.
