Services Offered
I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy within my private practice, offering services to young adults, adults, couples, and groups. In therapy, we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Many individuals I work with express feelings of inadequacy, guilt/shame, anger, fear of confrontation, and a tendency towards people-pleasing. These emotions can manifest, impacting various aspects of their lives such as work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Together, we explore these patterns and emotions, possibly rooted in the unconscious, to foster healing and growth.
My areas of expertise include processing grief, relational challenges, shame/guilt, addictions, & trauma recovery.

Cari is a Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), and a Fellow in Thanatology: Death, Dying, Loss, and Bereavement. She specializes in grief counselling for both death and non-death losses and supports individuals and caregivers facing grief in all its forms, life-limiting illnesses, caregiving stress, and major life transitions.

Grounded in a client-centred, strengths-based, and attachment-focused approach, Cari draws on Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She recognizes the importance of spiritual wellbeing—whether it is a source of strength or an area of pain—and creates space for all parts of the human experience in the therapy room. Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth presence, gentle encouragement, and practical tools to help navigate all forms of loss and build resilience. Cari’s work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and a belief that healing happens through connection, storytelling, and being truly heard.

Welcome
Are you feeling weighed down by the pain of losing a loved one? Or perhaps you feel stuck and confused by an event that has changed the plans you had for your own life. Grief, in its many forms, can feel overwhelming. Along with sadness, you may also experience anger or a lack of motivation. And, when it feels like the world expects you to carry on, grief can feel like a dark and lonely place. With 28 years of experience in healthcare, I can help you gently explore your thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms of grief. There is no right way to grieve, and together we will find your unique path forward.
I offer you a safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing how grief is impacting you. We’ll work together to find the strategies that help you gain a greater sense of compassion for yourself and your experience with grief. From Narrative Therapy to expressive journaling, I am here to join you in finding your own inner strength and guidance.
Living with grief is not something you need to do alone. With support, you will begin to see that you can guide your journey toward healing and happiness. I invite you to reach out to see if we can work together on your path forward.
I offer online services.
