I work with people from all walks of life with a plethora of issues. From addiction, and mental health issues to support in the journey of marriage and parenting, I will provide the support you need to increase your confidence in a way that you can start making necessary decisions.
I have a unique perspective of relationships, parenting, and addiction recovery. I've been married for 20 years and believe that deserves a medal because marriage is hard. I've raised three children who are relatively well behaved but also have their moments and that’s life.
Whether it’s coping skills, parenting techniques, or communication between couples, Cari’s 20 + years of experience in the mental health field can help you or your loved ones do more than get back on track – Cari will help you define your own new path to a better more fulfilling life.
The hardest part of therapy is making the first appointment. From there, I will support you in identifying and making the decisions needed to resolve problematic patterns, step outside of cycles that aren't working for you, learn new techniques to combat trauma responses, and enjoy life on a deeper level.
