About me

Hi, I’m Kari, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Registered Dietitian. More specifically, I’m someone who is passionate about helping people live happier, healthier lives.

I support adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, struggling with an eating disorder, or navigating a life transition. I have specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders and common co-occurring disorders such as OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and substance use. I am trained in Intuitive Eating and utilize a body positive, HAES approach. I also support people who want to improve their lives by setting healthier boundaries, building confidence, and living more aligned to their values. I am LGBTQ+ aware and affirming.

I help couples who want to feel more satisfied in their connection with their partner, improve communication to resolve conflict in a caring and effective way, and be excited about their relationship again. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, additional training in the Gottman Approach for the Treatment of Affairs and Trauma, and use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work.

I believe that each one of us can heal and grow when supported in a way that is tailored to meet our needs. You are the expert of your own experiences. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your unique strengths, build new skills, and learn ways to realize your potential to live a more fulfilling life.

If you are ready to explore what is getting in your way and figure out what to do next, then give me a call. I offer a free initial phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.
