Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Karinne (“kuh-RIN”), a registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (#143920) practicing at Center You in Pasadena, CA under Eliza Steel Psychotherapy. I’m supervised by Eliza Steel (LMFT #107513) & Brooke Knaack (LMFT #84862, ATR).

Embarking on a new therapeutic journey can feel daunting, whether you’ve traversed the path before or you’re heading into the unknown for the very first time. Wherever this voyage may take you, my goal is to ensure you never feel alone as it unfolds.

As your therapy traveling companion, I strive to create a space where you have a chance to pause, take a breath, and feel understood as you connect with who you are & where you are in the moment.

I see individual clients across the lifespan who are looking for a safe & nurturing environment to discover, explore, and experiment with what it means to live authentically & intentionally.
