I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.

Do you have trouble navigating relationships, identity, or cultural expectations while trying to stay true to yourself? Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and reflective, yet feel pulled between their own needs and the roles they’ve learned to play in family, culture, or relationships. You may feel pressure to keep things together, even while something inside you is asking for change. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to explain your background or justify your feelings. Instead, we focus on understanding what has shaped you so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

How to find hope? How do you heal the ache you feel inside? If you are feeling you have "stalled," engaging in therapy can help you get moving again. Your lifepath includes GROWTH, understanding, and enjoying the journey! However, you imagined that by now you would be in a better place. You struggle with uncertain thoughts and feelings. You don't know what to do next. You feel STUCK, overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed.

I support both individuals and couples with problematic relational patterns, causing disconnection and distress. If life experiences feel overwhelming, or your relationship is unhappy or in crisis, my role as a therapist is to help you make sense of the past and explore how these challenges contribute to current day emotional reactions and insecurities in personal or professional relationships. This awareness, along with our work together, will be a catalyst for change and motivate you to feel more alive and hopeful in the present and encourage you to experience less fear of the future.

I understand the weight of being highly attuned to others while constantly overthinking. At the same time, you may feel detached, on autopilot, or unsure of what you actually want. Questioning conventional narratives about love, success, or productivity can leave you feeling isolated or defective. Many of these patterns are forms of emotional survival, ways you learned to cope, stay connected, or get through. In our work, we focus on strengthening self-acceptance. As shame softens, agency increases, and executive functioning becomes more possible, not through pressure, but through compassion for yourself.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

Life can feel heavy sometimes. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure why the same struggles keep showing up in your relationships or daily life. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and begin to move forward with more clarity and compassion. I work with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and past hurts that still feel present today. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who are used to taking care of others but find it hard to take care of themselves.

Hi, I’m Kari. I work with adults who are carrying a lot and trying to function through it anyway. Maybe your mind keeps jumping to worst case scenarios, your body feels on edge, or life has changed in ways you did not ask for. For some people, that looks like medical anxiety, chronic illness, or fear around health. For others, it is grief, divorce, custody stress, or the emotional whiplash of a life transition that has turned everything upside down. Therapy can be a place to slow things down and get your footing again.
