individual intensive
do you feel an urgent call to live life
with more meaning?
do you have an inner desire to have more agency over your life?
do you feel powerless and feel trapped in a never ending cycle?
to understand that we are part of the natural world, is to begin the process of loving ourselves.
three days intensive work is compared to one year hourly sessions.
to work intensively is to enter timelessness. time stands still as we take a dive into your history, past hurts, personal meanings and dreams.
My approach is non-traditional. I don’t see symptoms as problems to be eliminated, but as messages that reveal deeper meaning. By exploring personal history, we gain a holistic understanding of behavior, emotions, and relationships.
Rooted in depth psychology and experiential therapy, my work focuses on the unconscious and its role in shaping life experiences. I practice client-centered care where the client is the expert of their own needs. Through active and compassionate listening, I create a safe space for honest exploration and self-expression without judgment.
This holistic creative framework allows clarity to emerge, guiding each person toward the life they wish to create. Creative tools such as art, writing, and poetry deepen this process, helping to express emotions and support self-discovery.
This holistic creative framework,
is a combination of modalities that result in an enriching therapeutic experience grounded in respect for the complexity and diversity of each person's internal journey.
what will we be doing
time alone
Time alone is the most important aspect of the intensive process. Being immersed in nature allows for an experience of turning inward, with personal themes to be explored. These themes arise from your goals, concerns, and central topics that require time, reflection, and attentive listening.
journaling
Journaling is the primary tool used in the intensive format. It serves as a gentle way to capture the inner, unconscious world without intrusion. Through journaling, the invisible world becomes visible in the simple writing of what surfaces on the paper about a specific topic. This process engages parts of the brain that bypasses analysis, allowing us to dive into meaning and the realm of inner representation.
Journaling offers a doorway into the self, bringing clarity and insights that deepen our understanding of who we are. This understanding releases tension and bridges the emotional and logical aspects of our experience. On paper, we can become witness our inner world. As we begin to see ourselves more clearly, a compassionate gaze begins to show up as we witness deep truths, patterns of behavior, personal stories, and revelations that might otherwise remain hidden.
to be witnessed
Because we are social beings, healing occurs when we are witnessed in our deepest knowing. Time alone and journaling allow for the extraction of truth. Being witnessed offers the opportunity to share that truth in a nonjudgmental space that invites full acceptance of your true essence.
creative acts
Art serves as a bridge between the inner and outer worlds, helping to transform and express emotions that may not yet have language. Through creative expression, what is hidden begins to take form. Pain, joy, grief, and hope can all find a place on different mediums. The act of creating becomes a gentle dialogue with the self, offering insight, release, and renewal. In this way, art becomes both witness and healer, allowing what is within to be seen, accepted, integrated and celebrated.

some things about me
karin
I am a proud born and raised guatemalan. I am mother of two amazing beings, Melanie 36 and Anthony 29, and grandmother of an 18 month old boy, Jannik. I live alone (with my two dogs Jade and Nara) in the outskirts of the city of guatemala in a place i call ENTRE MONARCAS. I was introduced to the process of monarch butterflies during the pandemic and i have been raising them since then. I love to sit outside and see monarch butterflies flutter. They bring a sense of calm and beauty that nourishes my spirit in the gentlest of ways. I believe that everyone deserves such an experience, so ENTRE MONARCAS is one of the venues that is an option for the intensive work.
Becoming a doctor of psychology has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Although it required many years of dedication in the academic world, the years that it has taken to become a whole conscious person is a greater challenge and a lifetime commitment.
Life has brought many losses: a young marriage, the diagnosis of a degenerative disease in my child, losing him to that illness, the loss of my brother to cancer, the murder of my mother, the political persecution of my husband, divorce, uncertainty, terror, depression, anxiety, financial pressure, and many, many blessings. All of these have blended into a mix that has taught me how to navigate life both through loss and trauma, and in the creation of a life of my own design.
Although there were many opportunities that could have justified the use of drugs, alcohol, or other dysfunctional behaviors, my focus on sobriety, commitment to self-care, meditation, yoga practice, work, study, and engagement with the arts has been instrumental in sustaining me and in creating a framework worth sharing with others.
what are people saying...
"My therapy intensives with the amazing and beautiful soul Karin were nothing short of life-changing.
I came seeking support during a time of overwhelming grief, but what I gained went far beyond that.
Karin's expertise and compassion created a space where I could deeply explore not just my loss, but other parts of myself and my life that I hadn't even realized needed healing.
Every session was filled with breakthroughs, realizations, and growth. This journey has left me feeling more grounded, self-aware, and hopeful for the future.
I can't recommend these intensives enough-they were truly a gift in a challenging time.
I truly wish everyone had an opportunity to experience such intensives."

"I have been seeing Karin since 2011, and I can confidently say she is the best therapist I could ever imagine.
She has guided me through the most challenging times of my life with unwavering support, wisdom, and compassion.
I truly thank God for her.
Karin has a remarkable ability to hold space with incredible attention.
She is gentle with my spirit yet direct and insightful in helping me find a safe place to work toward real, meaningful results.
Her guidance has been invaluable, and I honestly don't know where my lite would be without her.
If you are looking for a therapist who is deeply caring, intuitive, and committed to your well-being, I cannot recommend Karin highly enough."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Karin for many years, since we first went to a center in Nashville, Tennessee, seeking help for my family.
From that moment on, Karin became what I call an instrument of God in our lives. The way Karin has touched the lives of my children, my husband, and mine, I can only describe as 'miraculous.'
Our family has been transformed thanks to her guidance, to the gentleness and professionalism in every word and every moment we have shared with her.
The way Karin reaches the soul of each one of us from a place of such love and deep respect is, for me, indescribable. None of us has ever felt threatened, even in the most vulnerable places we’ve reached with her.
Karin is a light of love. Thanks to God, today we are living proof of a profound transformation. It’s not perfect—our humanity makes us experience ups and downs—but Karin’s help sustains and guides us. Today we are no longer afraid; today we know how to start over each day.
Without a doubt, I can say that we are who we are today thanks to the immense love we have for one another—but it was because of Karin that we learned to truly value it.
Thank you, Karin!"
