Compassionate therapy for adults navigating depression, stress, trauma, and transformation
I offer in-person and online therapy for adults in California, including Individual Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in Redwood City, grounded in warm curiosity, ethical integrity, and relational trust.
Whether you're managing overwhelm, considering or moving through divorce, or seeking emotional peace, there’s space here for your full experience.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect to the parts of you that may have been neglected or silenced. Using a blend of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), parts work, and somatic exploration we’ll work together to build emotional resilience, self-trust, and grounded change.
$300 per 50-minute session
Individual Therapy for Adults in California
KAP can open up expanded states of awareness, loosen entrenched patterns, and reveal new insights. It can be especially helpful if traditional talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough. We will get to know each other in preparation sessions, then have a half-day experience of in-office sublingual ketamine, followed by separate integration sessions.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Redwood City
“I feel incredibly fortunate to be working with Dr. Kari. She's compassionate and accepting, and has helped me to look more closely at the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are impacting my life. She truly ‘sees’ me as an individual and tailors her approach to treatment accordingly. I came to her feeling stuck—but with her gentle guidance, I've been able to make real progress toward achieving my therapeutic goals.”

“Working with Dr. Kari has been transformative for my mental health. She excels at creating a safe space from day 1: she listens without judgement, provides genuine compassion, and gently guides me to look deep and find my own answers and insights. I feel more grounded, self-compassionate, and self-aware which helps me make better choices and build healthier relationships that are more in line with what I value. I can't overstate how much our work together has helped me grow.”

“When I first started seeing Dr. Kari, a lifetime of ingrained self-criticism had me condemning myself for not being 'the best' at everything. Dr. Kari met me where I was, and has consistently shown me the power of self-compassion. She helps me understand and thoughtfully balance all the many parts of myself, and working with her has completely changed my attitude, reactions, and outlook—for the better.”

“I have been working with Dr. Kari for several years and have been so glad to have a partner and guide through some difficult times and some fairly seismic life transitions. She finds the right way to both challenge and support me through transformative change in my life. Her approach has been flexible and dynamic, listening to what I need and truly want, and she is always compassion-led—reminding me often to give myself grace, patience, and support.”
