“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you go, they merely determine where you start.”

Kari strongly believes in the power of human connection and works to cultivate a therapeutic relationship that is safe and transformative. Kari approaches her work not as an expert on your journey but as a fellow traveller that has the privilege to walk alongside you in your journey to heal. Kari recognizes that as human beings, we are all interconnected and inevitably face similar hurts, fears, and anxieties. Kari endeavours to learn about your challenges with empathy, develop a personalized treatment plan that is meaningful to you, and offer compassionate support as you move toward your goals.

To Kari, building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is an essential starting place. In her counseling practice, she offers respect, trust, honesty, kindness, and compassion to create a collaborative relationship with her clients. Within this relationship, Kari hopes to enhance human connection and help her clients build capacity for self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-acceptance.

She is welcoming of all genders, identities, and cultural/spiritual backgrounds. She is passionate about supporting clients that are experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, grief & loss, self-esteem, life transitions and relationships.

Kari draws from an array of therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioural therapy (DBT), polyvagal theory for anxiety, depression, and trauma. Kari also utilizes interventions from narrative approaches, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches. Kari is committed to providing appropriate and evidence-based treatment based on the needs of her clients. Kari is also deeply committed to providing ethical treatment and will only offer services to client’s that are within her scope of practice.
