About Kari
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness methods are part of how she helps people notice what matters and take actions that match their values.
Kari also uses client-centered and solution-focused approaches to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented. She listens for each person’s priorities and works with them to set small, manageable goals. Sessions are paced to the person’s needs rather than a fixed template.
People contact Kari about a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, anger, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
Her background includes focused work with severe mental health conditions and behavioral disorders, so she is familiar with complex presentations. Kari invites people to take the first step and complete the intake process to see if her style fits what they need.

Others prefer shorter check-ins or camera-free options when that suits their needs, and a licensed professional can recommend what will work best for each person.
