Hi, I'm Kary.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Jungian psychology, with postgraduate certifications in Jungian Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy.
I help my clients grapple with the complexities of love, intimacy, and relationships through couples and relationship therapy in Corte Madera, Marin County, and San Francisco. My work focuses on infidelity, emotional and sexual disconnection, intimacy concerns, recurring conflict, and major relationship transitions.
Are you navigating a breakup, affair, or major relationship transition—and feeling stuck in painful patterns?
You may find yourselves repeating the same arguments, pulling away, or wondering how things got here. I specialize in working with couples at psychological thresholds—moments when familiar ways of relating no longer seem to work.
Together, we look beneath the surface of conflict to understand the emotional and relational dynamics driving it. I help you learn to think both psychologically and symbolically, so you can relate to your partner and others with greater self-awareness, sovereignty, and intimacy.
My work with couples and individuals also explores differentiation and intimacy in romantic relationships, and recovery from narcissistic–codependent relationship dynamics.
My approach integrates Jungian-oriented, attachment-based, and sex-informed psychotherapy to help you move beyond reactivity, shift entrenched patterns, and develop more grounded, intentional ways of relating.

If you're at a point where something has to shift—but you're not sure how—I offer a space to slow down, feel deeply, and become curious about yourself and your partner. A space to be vulnerable and discover something new about who you are and how you love.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.

Education
Experience
Orientation
I earned my B.A. in Mass Communications, Culture & Film at UC Berkeley, and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology with Emphasis in Depth/Jungian Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Professional Clinical Counseling, at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara.
I also hold a Certificate in Sex Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and a Certificate in Jungian Couples Therapy from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples in private practice.
My prior clinical experience spans psychotherapy in private practice with Psychotherapist.Coach, nonprofit psychotherapy at The Liberation Institute, school-based counseling with Bay Area Community Resources, and service at the Center for Domestic Peace as a Certified Domestic Violence Advocate.
Rooted in Jungian/Depth Psychology, my work explores how unconscious patterns shape our emotional and relational lives.
The work of C. G. Jung, Marion Woodman, James Hollis, and Robert A. Johnson informs my practice, alongside the relationship theories of Orna Guralnik, Esther Perel, and John Gottman.
My approach integrates Jungian-oriented, attachment-based, and sex-informed psychotherapy to explore the patterns, projections, and attachment dynamics shaping emotional and sexual intimacy.
My master's thesis, The Alchemy of Human Relating, explored how romantic relationships reveal shadow material and offer a path toward individuation and deeper intimacy.
