About Cari

I offer warmth and compassion to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with each client. I create a safe environment so that you are able to get down to your core emotions, then help you further explore those feelings. I believe that this is the key to any lasting change or improvement. Changing thoughts and behaviors is great, and definitely part of what needs to happen in therapy…but that is only temporary, first-order change. Real, LASTING change comes from addressing the underlying feelings and emotions behind those behaviors. This authentic growth is my goal for every client.

I have extensive experience in mental health treatment and am passionate about helping others create balance and happiness in their lives. I specialize in private therapy for adults, adolescents, couples, and families dealing with relationship/interpersonal difficulties. I also provide mental health therapy for issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, among many others. When you feel “stuck”, I work with you to identify unhealthy patterns, and then help you break those patterns.

In addition to my clinical therapy practice, I also author articles and literature on a variety of relevant mental health topics – including relationships, marriage, interpersonal conflicts, and self-actualization. I also do presentations and speaking engagements in the community related to various mental health topics. I look forward to working with you to help you to create a more rewarding and fulfilling life!
