About Kari

I firmly believe in individualized, custom care for each of my clients. Just as “one size fits all” clothing never really fits anybody there is no “no size fits all” therapy in my practice. If you are going to put your time and trust in me then the least I can do is provide customized, evidence-based care. I honor the belief that each client is an expert on him, her, or themselves. My clients are equal partners in their care.

My clients have told me I have a laid-back and caring approach. They also appreciate I take the mysticism out of therapy. I am no wizard or guru. Nor am I all that different from my clients. I am trained and experienced, that’s all. I share with my clients the neuroscience that explains why their brains are acting in this way and the psychological science behind why we are doing the therapeutic interventions that we are. You are the expert on your own mental health.
