Hi! I’m Katarina (she/her). I’m a student therapist and registered psychotherapist (qualifying) at Rebound Total Health. I am driven by empathy and a genuine passion to help others.

Working With Me
I will meet you where you are in your life and journey. I am dedicated to making therapy as comfortable, accessible, and effective as possible. Weather you have goals or are just here to talk, I want you to leave our sessions feeling a sense of hope and relief.
Worth Mentioning
As clients decide who they want to work with for counselling, there’s a lot to take into consideration! Here are some additional perks you should know of!
Non-judgemental and highly confidential: anything goes, I want you to feel comfortable sharing anything and everything. And know that I will uphold and respect your privacy and confidentiality.
Fun: While the work isn’t always fun, I am! Healing doesn’t have to be intimidating or heavy, when appropriate I will try to make our sessions fun.
Flexible Scheduling: I provide flexible scheduling options, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate your busy life, ensuring that therapy remains accessible and convenient.
What does a session with me look like?
I tailor all my sessions to my client’s specific and unique needs but you can expect to always feel listened to, cared for, and supported. If you’d like to sit and vent, I will be there to listen and validate your experiences. If you’d like to make a change in your life, we will set practical and achievable goals collaboratively. I will guide you through difficult sessions with warmth and understanding, and laugh with you during easier ones. Above all I strive to create a warm, safe, judgment free space where your therapeutic needs will be met.

My Approach
I utilize a variety of different therapeutic modalities that I tailor to each individual client’s desires and needs. I have a deep appreciation for Emotions Focused Therapy (EFT). Not only is EFT an evidence-based approach it also feels like receiving a warm, supportive hug! While maintaining professionalism, I believe in fostering a sense of ease, fun, and even humour when appropriate, allowing for moments of levity and connection amidst your healing journey.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I employ CBT techniques to help clients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is goal-oriented and focuses on developing practical coping strategies. I do not follow a typical CBT session format but will integrate theories and techniques.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Through exploring the type of attachments we had with our childhood caregivers, we can better understand why we show up the way we do in our relationships as adults. By using attachment theory as a framework, we can work on developing more secure attachments with others and fostering healthier and more meaningful relationships.
Emotions Focused Therapy (EFT)
An approach that focuses on warmth, empathy, and understanding emotions. Emotions provide valuable information about your needs, experiences and relationships. We can use this information to understand and identify patterns to encourage change.
Eclectic
Using multiple modalities and techniques to meet the individual client’s needs.
