About me

Thank you for considering Betterhelp. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 15 years of experience working with a vast array of individuals. I have helped those suffering with mental illness concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, psychosis, career challenges, trauma and ADHD/ADD in various settings. I also have experience with people struggling with addictive behaviors of all types, abuse and personality disorders.

My counseling style is to happily meet you where you are and support you in your journey. I treat all individuals with respect, dignity, and without judgement. While much of my work is centered in cognitive behaviorism, I prefer to individualize my treatment based on your goals and needs. We will discuss a unique plan that provides you support and guidance as you implement your process for lasting change.

Your decision to reach out may be one of the hardest in your life and one of the most important. You are brave for making this step and you are not alone in this! I would be honored to assist you in obtaining your goals and building a better life.

I feel heard when talking to Kari. Always gives full undivided attention, I’ve had experiences where therapists haven’t done that. Excellent experience with her.

Wonderful to talk to. It doesn’t feel like I’m talking to myself and I also feel heard

I've only had a few sessions so far, but I very much enjoy having someone outside my normal circle to talk to. Kari has been a compassionate and non-judgemental ear with good insight and suggestions.
