Free Yourself Up

Hi, I’m Cari. I’m a licensed psychotherapist serving Oakland, Piedmont, and the surrounding Bay Area. I work with couples and individuals to help them break free from painful, unwanted patterns in their lives, and to find greater confidence, connection, and joy.

It's Time

Could you use a little support right now? Maybe life during the past few years has taken a toll on your relationship, or made it obvious what wasn’t really working to begin with. Like many people, you may feel anxious and uncertain about the state of the world. You may be questioning your direction in life and what really matters to you now.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Therapy can help you see new possibilities for yourself or as part of a couple. My approach to therapy is individualized and focused on facilitating lasting change. I offer in person, video, and phone sessions.

 
 

I Can Help

Whatever is bringing you to therapy, my goal is to help you see your situation with greater clarity and compassion, and to help you leverage your existing strengths to make the changes you desire. I am skilled at helping couples navigate both shorter-term life challenges as well as longer-term patterns of interaction that keep them from feeling connected and confident in the relationship. I am also skilled at helping individual clients relate to themselves in more flexible and effective ways.

How I Work

 
 
It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey.
