Building Women's Resilience Through Vulnerability

You've helped me learn to navigate this world from a place of grace and being a badass while doing it.

There are lessons that came up in our sessions that will serve me many lifetimes.

"Karina has been a featured presenter at our professional development conferences for two years and has always galvanized the audience. She is a vibrant speaker that mixes humor with real-world experience and can inspire whatever audience she addresses. It is always a treat to hear her present, as she is engaging and truly captivating."

"Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found Karina. As an executive who just started leading a new team, I felt an enormous amount of anxiety trying to get the buy-in and acceptance of my team. With Karina's genuine coaching style, goal setting, and accountability methods, I have become a more effective and transparent leader. Staff is now seeking my advice and simply dropping by my office to inquire about me. I could not have done it without Karina's support."

Karina is a smart, self-motivated, enthusiastic individual who is truly dedicated to her work. I first met Karina during one of the Brides’ March meetings, a grassroots organization where Karina is one of the co-leads and, at the time, represented one of the founding organizations, DWDC. I soon became aware of Karina’s commitment to community organizing as well as her organizational and leadership skills. Karina’s contribution to the community, and in particular, to the immigrant community in NYC, has been recognized by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs- In 2015, Karina was selected as part of the MOIA’s four-month fellowship program for established and emerging immigrant women leaders. With her wide range of talents, Karina is a tremendous asset to any initiative, project, or organization.

I can't thank you enough for guiding me in holding myself accountable. I was questioning therapy and thought my problems would go away just by showing up to therapy and expecting to be told what to do.

I now understand that most of the healing happens outside of our sessions, one day at a time.

"Karina has been instrumental in helping me to not only cope with anxiety at work but to enjoy what I do. She has helped me identify my self-worth, and I no longer let what I do or how much I make define who I am. Her warm and sincere demeanor immediately earned my trust, and after the first four sessions, I experienced a dramatic shift in how I see life. I feel so grateful to have found Karina at such a vulnerable time in my life; now I look forward to our weekly sessions; they are my "me" time."
