Hello there!

Looking for a safe and supportive space to begin to untangle challenges you are facing? Are you looking to build resilience in the face of adversity? I'm Dr. Karunaratne, a bilingual (Spanish) licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years' experience in providing psychotherapy to adults. I believe in a collaborative approach when working with clients who are seeking evidence-based tools within a framework of support and validation. Evidence shows that a strong connection with a therapist is the single most important agent for change. To that end, my goal is to build strong rapport with clients and provide the opportunity to build coping skills to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I also enjoy working with clients struggling with attention deficit disorder in helping them to improve organization and time management.
