Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Karelin is a therapist, coach, and meditation teacher who helps people understand themselves, work with their nervous systems, and meet overwhelm with more compassion and less self-judgment. With 15 years of experience as a Marriage & Family Therapist, she blends Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and self-compassion with practical tools for everyday life. Her work is especially supportive for neurodivergent adults, people navigating midlife and hormonal transitions, and those untangling patterns shaped by trauma, people-pleasing, codependency, or chronic overwhelm. As both a therapist and coach, Karelin is interested not only in why something feels hard, but in helping people discover what they need and find realistic ways to move forward. Through meditations, talks, courses, and live sessions, she explores ADHD and neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationships and attachment, menopause, burnout, boundaries, self-trust, and nervous system support. Her approach is warm, grounded, and practical, inviting you to work with yourself rather than against yourself.

Thank you! I feel a little better for being myself. I need to give myself more compassion and not automatically assume I’m in the wrong or have been a bad person 🙏

Thank you so much for this talk. As a woman in perimenopause who's actually started wondering if i may be ADHD, i've felt so seen and supported.

This covers all the challenges faced. Wish I could email it to my parents, all my teachers and employers and random people who criticised A good friend once told me: be careful or you will apologise for breathing next

Thank you. RSD has plagued me most of my life. I'm grateful there's a word for it to and a description. Now I'm better able to thwart it when it raises its head.

I have struggled with this my whole life. I was in the group of kids that never wanted a birthday party out of fear no-one would come. I still am but I’m working on it. Thank you for this deeper understanding of why and advice on how to pause and create space.

Your talk so resonated with my situation, thank you so much. I am caregiving two lifelong friends with dementia while , emotionally supporting two adult children going thru midlife crisis & lifetime changes. My spiritual practice and exercise keeps me afloat.
