Before training as a psychologist, Karin worked as an art therapist specialising in trauma and domestic violence, and before that as an early childhood educator. This means she brings genuine depth to complex presentations — particularly where trauma, neurodevelopmental differences, and disability intersect.

Art therapy remains central to Karin's practice. Sessions can draw on creative and expressive approaches alongside evidence-based psychological therapies, offering something beyond a purely talk-based model; which many clients find more accessible and more meaningful.
Karin's clinical work spans PTSD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. She has a strong focus on NDIS participants and people accessing support through Victims Services, and she is also an NDIS-approved Behaviour Support Practitioner.

Outside of her practice, Karin tutors in the Master of Art Therapy and Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling programs at Western Sydney University.

Her approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and adapted to the individual; practical where it needs to be, and attentive to the whole person.
