Are you ready to make a change?

It’s hard to feel burdened by the past. It’s daunting to face each day with anxiety and self-doubt. And it’s incredibly isolating to feel like you can’t trust or connect with others. Maybe this even extends to those closet to you- your family and romantic partners.

Healing is possible. Imagine feeling rested and peaceful. Feeling understood by your people and having a harmonious relationship. These factors make it possible to take your life to the next level. You would be developing your unique identity and making a positive contribution to the world. Therapy opens doors.

Hi, I’m Karina Westrick, LPCC. I became a therapist to help people believe in themselves.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling from Mount Mary University and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC 16406) in the state of California. For over ten years, my career has focused on complex trauma in diverse populations. My previous work settings include a domestic violence shelter, a women’s incarceration day release program, and an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center. To advance my work, I’ve completed trainings in treating trauma include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Flash, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFcT).

When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy exploring San Francisco with my dogs and finding the best vegan food in the city.
