About me
Hi, I'm Karina (she/her)
I am an NDIS Support Coordinator and Psychosocial Recovery Coach, where I take a trauma-informed and person-centred approach to connect participants with the right resources to thrive, and coach them through barriers with their mental health. I feel grateful to see participants and their families achieve the life they want and to watch them have hope for a better future.
I also bring my own lived experience of mental health and chronic illness to my work. I have over 15 years' experience in the disability, mental health, and alcohol and other drugs sectors and have worked in various settings and roles, including prisons, Magistrates' Court, family violence, homelessness services, residential services, crisis support, and community outreach.
I live in Melbourne with my partner and our little furbaby Patterson (Patty). When I am not working, I enjoy quiet time reading, building Lego, followed by taking Patty for his daily walks and park adventures.
