Cari’s practice seeks to understand an individual as a whole and their experiences, environment, and sense of identity in order to meet them where they are. A former Spanish teacher, Cari discovered her favorite part of working in the classroom was the relationships she built with her students and supporting them through their hardships.
Curious and empathetic, Cari likes to get to know her clients’ stories in a space of non-judgement where they are free to be completely themselves. With her education in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Psychodynamic Theory, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other Evidence Based Practices, she approaches each client with a fresh perspective and tailors sessions to best fit the individual.
In her undergraduate program, Cari did extensive research on the Growth Mindset Theory, as well as worked with a local youth center to empower young people by educating them about the powers of their brain and thought patterns. This work has inspired her to empower others to face challenges, embrace trial and error, and to grow in any direction they choose.
Cari is also a yoga teacher from which she draws her passion for combining elements of the mind, body, and soul to optimize mental wellness. She enjoys exploring the sensation in the physical body to become more deeply connected to the emotional body. She is also experienced in leading meditation and teaching breathwork as a tool to decrease negative feelings.
