Om karina

Jeg blev født i København i 1975, er opvokset i Antwerpen og har boet i seks forskellige lande. Jeg har læst klinisk psykologi og systemisk relationsterapi i Belgien, hvor jeg senere arbejdede tæt sammen med Belgiens førende parterapeuter. Nu arbejder jeg i en gruppepraksis i København, og beskæftiger mig især med køn – og seksualitetsrelaterede emner. Jeg arbejder på dansk, engelsk, tysk og nederlandsk. Ved siden af mit terapeutiske arbejde underviser og skriver jeg. Privat er jeg gift og har to dejlige børn.
