Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Jungian Couples Psychotherapy
Relationships are living mirrors of the psyche,
revealing the unclaimed potential within us.
Hi I'm Kary.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Specialization in Jungian Psychology and Certifications in Jungian Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy, based in Marin County, California.​
​
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 unsure how things got here. I specialize in working with couples at psychological thresholds.
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 sovereignty and intimacy.
​
I work with couples and individuals. Areas of focus include emerging-adult selfhood, differentiation and intimacy in romantic relationships, infidelity, and recovery from narcissistic-codependent relationship dynamics.
​
Using attachment theory and depth-oriented (Jungian) psychology, I help you move out of reactivity, shift entrenched patterns, and build 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 get curious about yourself and your partner. A space to be brave enough 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
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.
Orientation
Rooted in Jungian/Depth Psychology, my work explores how unconscious processes and symbolic patterns shape our inner and relational lives.
​
The work of C. G. Jung, Marion Woodman, James Hollis, and Robert A. Johnson continue to inform my practice and my belief that every symptom, dream, and relationship carries meaning—and potential for growth.
