More about Catarina

- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), certified Heal Your Life® coach, certified domestic violence counselor, and holistic healing guide with lived experience of trauma and recovery. As a client centered, transpersonal therapist, my work bridges trauma-informed therapy with soul-level transformation. I integrate CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy, along with techniques informed by Polyvagal Theory, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, somatic regulation approaches, and Jungian perspectives. I also draw from Akashic Records exploration and past life reflection. I work with those healing from childhood trauma, sexual trauma, generational trauma, complex PTSD, chronic illness, infertility, existential loss, and profound spiritual awakenings. I believe healing is not just about recovery—it’s the sacred evolution of your soul.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
