🌿 About Me
I am a seasoned holistic psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. My life has been shaped by rich cross-cultural experiences—born in India, having lived in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Saskatoon), and now rooted in the United States. This global perspective allows me to meet each person with cultural sensitivity, openness, and deep respect for their unique life story.
My work is deeply informed by both psychological training and spiritual practice. While traditional talk therapy can be helpful, I believe true healing often requires engaging the body as well as the mind. As a certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Reiki Master, I integrate somatic practices such as breathwork, yoga, guided meditation, mindfulness, dancing and journaling into my work. These approaches help regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and support emotional balance and resilience.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, exploring their spiritual path, and restoring meaningful connections with others.
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen and supported. Together, we will tailor a path that honors your unique needs and goals.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life takes courage. I am here to walk alongside you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I really appreciate Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson's help as I navigate childhood trauma, PTSD, boundaries, marital issues, postpartum recovery, and rediscovering myself. She has provided numerous solutions that bring clarity to my situation , fit my situation, and she offers suggestions which have been making my life better. I would highly recommend anyone dealing with the issues I mentioned choose her as a therapist. I've had different therapists on the app which have been helpful, but I find that she's been the most helpful so far. Thank you so much...I'm finding a little more joy each day
Karuna was the perfect match for me. I have been looking for a therapist that is gentle, kind but will tell you how it is. She was able to help me relive again by providing me with very useful and unique tools to deal with my problems.
