About Me

Hi, I'm Carly (she/her). I provide in-person individual therapy in Oakland, California and telehealth throughout California. My background is in psychology, anthropology and education. I love learning what motivates us, what touches us, what makes us feel accepted, what gives us a sense of agency and what gets in the way of feeling like we belong.

 

I approach therapy from an existential lens. I enjoy working with anyone who is open to exploring conditions of challenge, pain, emotion and choice, in all aspects of life - individually, within friendships and partnerships, in families, at work, in communities and in existence. I want to help you think about how you occupy your space in your body, in your communities and in the world. A major component of existential exploration involves investigating where you have support, trust and space and where you need support, trust and space. Having enough space to process triggering, activating, difficult, or simply new life circumstances is necessary to improving self-awareness, self-compassion and growth and I am offering that space through individual therapy. 

 

Even though it can be challenging, I love working with individuals on how to assert themselves and take up their space in this world so that they can have more self-awareness and self-trust and ultimately communicate, connect and live more fully.
