Meet Carina

Welcome to Blue Wave Therapy. I’m Carina, the founder and Clinical Director of this warm, welcoming space. As a dedicated social worker with over 18 years of experience, my journey has been driven by a deep commitment to supporting children, youth, adults, and families who are navigating the challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, and relationship issues.

I began this practice out of a genuine desire to create a nurturing environment where individuals and families can find healing and growth. My own experiences have shown me the transformative power of therapy, and I wanted to ensure others have access to the support they need. I’ve seen firsthand how a compassionate, understanding approach can lead to lasting change, which is why I strive to foster a space where clients feel safe and empowered.

My professional journey has taken me through a variety of settings, where I’ve engaged in dedicated, client-centered work with both children and adults. I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, particularly at-risk children and their families, who are struggling with mental health challenges. This extensive experience has enriched my practice and deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by those in vulnerable situations.

Beyond my professional life, I’m also a mom and wife, which gives me a personal perspective on the joys and challenges of family life. This experience enhances my ability to connect with clients on a meaningful level, understanding firsthand the complexities of parenting, marriage, and family dynamics.

At Blue Wave Therapy, we believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Our success stems from our commitment to partnering with you, providing the guidance and support necessary to help you work toward your personal goals and overall well-being.

Thank you for considering us as a part of your journey. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family.
