Less Drama, More Peace: Let’s solve the number one problem in your relationship.

Your #1 relationship problem is fracturing the peace in your daily life. It’s time to restore the joy in your life by gaining clarity on your partnership. 

Whether you are debating divorce or, wondering if there’s anything left to work on or, trying to move past a major deal-breaker, I can help you decide what you want for yourself so you can release all that mental stress you’re carrying around about it.

Does this sound like you?

  1. I’M TIRED OF CARRYING 100% OF THE MENTAL LOAD.

    I have a lot on my plate and it feels like I’m my partner’s manager because they never help out or take initiative. Even though I’m married, I feel like I’m in this alone. I’m tired of feeling like I’m the only one trying.

  2. MY PARTNER JUST DROPPED A BOMB ON ME.

    My partner just unloaded something major on me and I’m trying to process what to do next. It feels like everything we had together was a lie, but I wonder if there’s anything worth salvaging. Is there a way forward?

  3. WE CAN’T TALK WITHOUT FIGHTING.

    Whenever I try to communicate my feelings with my partner, they always think I’m picking a fight. Everything they say to me feels like criticism. We just can’t win and I miss our honeymoon period.

  4. I DON’T WANT TO START OVER.

    I’m debating divorce or separation, but don’t want to start over. This used to be something good. I want to decide what to do in our relationship. Should I stay or move forward into a new season?

I will help you…

Go from manager to married. You’ll finally feel like you’re in a 50-50 partnership.

Process your grief and shock with grace. Tackle the curveball news with your partner and move forward together.

Become an all-star team at communication. Learn how to fight well and talk through it even better.

Inside my 1:1 coaching, you will solve your number one relationship issue and finally connect for real.

Restore your peace and experience school-girl-crush bliss all over again - with or without your partner.

See what my clients had to say…

  • "We argued all the time about the smallest things"

    BEFORE: My husband and I constantly argued about the smallest things and could never get to solving anything.

    AFTER: Working with Karina helped us see where we had trouble communicating, in just 3 months there was such a peace in my house and such closer intimacy with my husband. Karina not only brought me closer to my husband, she brought me closer to my faith.

  • "I felt disconnected from my partner after our first child"

    BEFORE: I felt super disconnected from my partner as I had just had our first child. I constantly felt restless, anxious and defeated.

    AFTER: Karina saw me for who I was and who I wanted to be. In just 3 months she helped me redefine my identity and made me see that I didn’t need to be the perfect wife or mother, that life wasn’t about perfection, but about progress.

  • "I asked my husband to move out"

    BEFORE: I had just asked my husband of ten years to move out, it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I felt lost, guilty and afraid.

    AFTER: After working with Karina I was able to divorce my partner and still feel in control of my life, accept a tenure position as a teacher and finally begin making decisions that were about me for once. I also had the confidence to start dating because I finally figured out who I was.

  • "I lacked boundaries & felt lost in my identity"

    BEFORE: When I started working with Karina I lacked boundaries and having my own back. My partner and I had monthly blow ups and I felt lost in my identity and wanted to start a coaching business.

    AFTER: After working with Karina and doing the inner work, unpacking my insecurities, and seeing where I also needed to hold myself accountable -I was able to create boundaries, have more intimacy with my partner, and start my coaching business!

  • "I was considering leaving my 10 year relationship"

    BEFORE: When I started working with Karina I was contemplating a close-to-decade relationship where I was unsure of my place. My partner and I decided to take time apart and I started working with Karina.

    AFTER: After working with Karina I built up my values, discovered that I wasn’t the right partner for him, and became more intimate with my desires rather than always being a people pleaser.

  • "I felt like my husband was hiding things from me"

    BEFORE: When I started working with Karina I felt like I had lost my husband and he was keeping information from me. I felt like my partner and I didn’t connect anymore, as if he was holding on to his true feelings.

    AFTER: In just the first two weeks, Karina helped me not only regulate but navigate difficult conversations where my partner felt safe enough to tell me that he had an affair and recently cheated on me. He felt safe enough to tell me he felt lost in the relationship too. Even though I was hurt, we both gained clarity about my circumstances. I was glad he was finally honest.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve tried couples therapy, retreats in Bali, or interventions with the family.

Your relationship won’t work if you aren’t feeling whole by yourself. The better you are, the better you can show up. So, while everyone else is trying to help you as a couple, I’m here to help you one-on-one as an individual.

Every time you want to scream and yell and cry – I’ll be there for YOU. We’ll hide out in your pantry, take deep breaths together, and come out ready to do things differently so you can change the outcome and heal your relationship.

Nothing will compare to the work we do together in our one-on-one relationship coaching and nothing will compare to the version of you that emerges after working together.

That’s a woman who will be ready for deep, true love – no matter what that looks like. (That’s a woman who is 100% at peace.)

Here is what our time together will look like using my personal framework—the 3 V’s:

Voice all your pressing concerns. From the way your partner chews to the way you feel unsafe when the arguments get heated, I want to hear them all. Whether you’re trying to leave or planning to stay, like your high school diary, we’ll lay everything out - raw and real so you can start to identify the behaviors and patterns (from both sides!) that need to change to keep going.

Venture into your #1 relationship issue with the right tools to communicate with your partner. The next time they forget to pack lunch for the kids or ask you for the millionth time which brand of bread you need from the grocery store or try to get you riled up in a meeting with your lawyers, you’ll know how to manage your emotions. From regulation techniques to communication styles, we’ll get deep into what makes you tick as a partner, so you can become better connected as a team – or move on as a better you.

Victory in crossing the finish line to the new and improved you. Maybe you’ll finally set aside time for date nights again, maybe you’ll sneak in a quickie while you do laundry, and maybe you’ll finally let go of the need for everything to be perfect so you can soak in your partner’s love all over again. 

I’ll work with you to try new things, practice healthier habits, and adjust to the changes so that forever starts to look good (and possible!) again – with or without a partner.

What’s possible when working with Karina

  • "Karina has helped me put myself first"

    Karina has helped me to push myself to be the best version of my true self while also remembering being kind to myself. And that I am enough just the way I am. Above all, through mom guilt, starting a career, getting a divorce and just daily living I remind myself of Karina's best quote, “PUT YOURSELF FIRST.”

  • "Working with Karina was the best decision I ever made"

    Before working with Karina, I never thought I was worthy of being happy. I didn't acknowledge all the qualities I have. I also learned that “NO” is a whole sentence and that it is OK to use it without feeling guilty. I LOVED working with her.

  • "Working with Karina was a breath of fresh air"

    I honestly felt like I was drowning before working with her but she always made it a point to highlight the things that I was doing well while still challenging me. Her spirit and drive to shift my mindset of my home and family life was crucial to my growth. She was always so on point with what I needed; she was my inner voice. I always felt like she was in my head.

  • "Karina helped us become a team again!"

    When I started using Karina’s framework, I discovered my partner's true desires and views of me and our partnership. While it might have hurt a bit, it allowed us both to finally SEE each other. He felt seen and I finally felt heard. Now we are a team again!

  • "Karina helped us stop blaming each other"

    When I used Karina’s framework, I discovered that our arguments were more rooted in my offense and not really getting anywhere. Karina taught me how to discover that my partner and I actually wanted VERY different things and we both felt safe admitting that because instead of blaming each other we got curious about what each other needed.

I’m going to tell you everything your couples therapist will take 6 months to share with you in JUST OUR VERY FIRST CALL.

We don’t have time to spend on getting cool with each other, your marriage is on the line and we will heal and transform it.

You will work and have access to me over the next 6 months.

  • Naihomy Jerez

    Karina has changed my life in ways I could never repay her for. She helped me unlock so many limiting beliefs, trauma, and helped me work through tough situations with family relationships. It was hard work and I am grateful she was there every step of the way. Karina’s coaching is always present with me, and I will be forever grateful for using her gifts with me.

  • Clarisa Salinas

    I started working with Karina when I was going through a bit of a professional crisis. I felt lost. I also felt that I wasn’t living up to the expectations I not only had of myself, but others. Karina helped me view my situation from a completely different perspective, and taught me the value of REST, which we don’t see modeled coming from first generation Hispanic/Latino families. I am eternally grateful for her wisdom, patience, and love. Without a doubt, Karina will help you grow.

  • Jodi Collins

    Karina was amazing to work with. The best thing about working with her was her constant encouragement. She always made me feel like I was capable of anything! I highly recommend Karina to anyone. She will leave you a better person when you’re through working with her.”

This is a safe place for you. See what my clients had to say.

  • “I feel like I can trust you with anything”.

  • "Karina knows me better than my friends!”

  • "I can tell Karina anything."

  • "Karina doesn’t judge my partner, she never takes sides, and always coaches from the best interest of the relationship."

  • "I can’t believe my life is already changing in such a short period of time."

  • "Karina makes me think about my relationship in ways I’ve never thought about before."

FAQ’s

  • EVERYTHING IS 100% CONFIDENTIAL

    You receive private Voxer access so you can send me voice notes, text messages whenever you need support. Nobody has access to these messages except me and you. Not even my team

    All of the content we post about our clients is 100% anonymous unless they decide to give consent.

    We will never contact your partner and if you would like to bring them to the calls you can but it will be entirely up to you!

  • I would love to coach the both of you as a couple! You can sign 1:1 with me a bring your partner on the call when you’re ready or you both can sign on together to be coached as a couple. You have options!

  • I love therapy! And see it as a beautiful match with coaching. As a social worker myself, I know the benefits of therapy. Think of therapy as unpacking the past to get you to the present and coaching is more of figuring out what’s going on NOW to get you to the future you desire.

    Because of my experience in social work, I know where to draw the line. If something in our session is more for your therapist to unpack, then I will guide you back to them.

  • Yes! That relationship may be with a loved one, close friend, co-worker, even yourself. We will work to unpack and resolve the reoccurring conflicts that continues to pop up so that you can show up as the partner and person you desire to be.

  • It only takes one person to change the dynamic of the relationship. This work is about you and figuring out what you want, who you are and your standards.

  • During our time together we will go through my relationship framework of unpacking your identity, values and standards. We will stop you from spinning out because you’ll have clarity about who you are, what you want and how you want it!

  • Yes! I offer payment plans of $834 over the 6 months that we work together.

Hi, I’m Karina—

I’m a Breadwinner, my husband left his career, and we’re the best of friends.

Relationships are life’s ultimate test of sportsmanship. How deeply can you show up for your partner? Are you willing to put aside your ego and make a game-winning pass instead of stealing the spotlight for yourself?

These are conversations my husband and I had for years leading up to the day we decided that I would become the breadwinner.

When we first got married, my husband was the primary earner, but as we evolved in our careers, I had a dream one night where God showed me that I was going to be making double our joint income.

We had no idea how this would happen, but we had the ugly fights, we said the unspoken things out loud, and we talked it all out as a unit.

See, we redefined what it meant to bring home the bag. We let God be our head of household and guide us as a team to reach our dreams. No matter what happened we were in it together.

And you know what? It's brought us closer together than ever before. With 3+ years of marriage counseling and 5+ years of one-on-one therapy, our ability to play ball together has gotten us to where we are today.

Because when we can set our egos aside, and keep our eye on the prize (a Godly, safe, healthy family), we stop competing with each other and we play together – as lovers, and more importantly as friends (with all the benefits).

That is all to say that whatever your story looks like, know that I get it. I’ve helped hundreds of women – starting with myself – overcome their biggest relationship issues, rediscover themselves inside their partnerships, and have more sex.

So, now, it’s your turn.

It’s time to put yourself first…

  • Fatoumata Arnold

    Accountability and motivates was really crucial for me. Karina made me feel like I was her only client. The individualization of the way she talked to me is what sets her coaching apart from anyone else. It felt good to know that someone was finally on my team. I’m so happy I took the leap of faith and hired a life coach. I would do another package with Karina in a heartbeat.

  • Stephanie Iring

    As child of God, a wife, mother of 3 and Ph.D. candidate, I knew that I needed something. With all the hats that I wear it's difficult to manage peace and rest when I'm under constant stress and anxiety from trying to control everything around me. Karina genuinely wanted to help me with different aspects of my life while aligning them with my faith. She succeeded and it solidified even more that working with her was the right decision.

  • Shianna Rodas

    Working with Karina enhanced my goals, dreams and actions. It’s one thing to read and attempt to work at goals to achieve, but when you have a cheerleader creating, feeding life and power into you —the achieving becomes effortless. Grat

It’s time to solve your #1 relationship problem.

Right now, you are living in a relationship that looks fine on the outside with a person who checks all the boxes you thought were important:

  • Good looking

  • Parent to your children

  • Great with your friends

  • Likes to travel

  • High school sweetheart

But the one check that is missing is the joyful bliss that used to exist when you said “I do” – and it’s costing you your peace. It’s time to add yourself back to the priority list and go from being in a chaotic relationship to a healthy, peaceful partnership.

Say goodbye to trying to change your partner and wondering what to do next. 

Work with me today so you can finally breathe easy again and have faith that your relationship will bring you peace.
