Written on Jun 24, 2024 after therapy with Kari for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, and self esteem
Kari is a very open minded therapist who has obviously had a lot of various life experiences. I fell like she listens but also understands when I talk about my concerns (many therapist don’t have the life experience to get where I’m coming from). She’s also been proactive in reaching out when I don’t communicate, sometime I need that reminder to take a minute to myself. I would definitely recommend Keri to anyone considering therapy. - thank you Keri!

Kari has been immensely helpful to me. She helped me identify the mental blocks that were in my way of achieving my goals--blocks that I was unable to identify on my own, despite years of trying. She was also very welcoming and validating, so I felt like she truly understood where I was coming from as an individual who doesn’t like to conform to tradtional ideologies.

What stands out to me above all the good things I can say about Kari is that it is so easy to talk to her. I never felt judged and she gives a relax vibe during conversations so because of that becomes easy for me to unearth issues I needed to process no matter how I feel it is too serious or mundane, it turns out that I really needed to unpack all of them. Kari made it possible because she’s there, present and equipped with tools and knowledge I need for any topic I talk about with her. I’m so glad she’s my therapist.

Kari is awesome. Finding your practices within what scares you, and giving genuine encouragement by practical and non-superficial tips. At least, not the already laid out answers which were tailored to fit for everyone. She is a great listener, understands me and talk to me from the same space my words were, and she doesn’t talk some learnt blabla which doesn’t fit to what I tell.
That way I understand she is not just telling you the generic talk, “the strength is in yourself” kinda bs, She does that with such a personally carwed approach to the situation you talked about, so you easily can tell that she is present with you and hears you, and cares to try to help by really meaning to help in the first place.
I would like to thank Kari, for not being very political and just smiling as she’s supposed to, as it’s her job.
Thank Kari because she makes me feel she cares, she listens. All I can say, I think that tells more than many diplomas or titles. Highly appreciate, Karin.

I’ve only had 2 sessions with Kari so far, but we immediately clicked. They’re so calm and insightful, but also don’t sugar coat things & have a good sense of humor which makes everything that much better (since I love to laugh and crack jokes too.)

When I first spoke with Kari, I knew I needed tools to handle what was triggering me as I had very little tools of my own. I felt lost going in. 4 weeks later, I am beyond grateful for her time, resources and kindness in helping me come out of this with the tools I need as well as the hope I want to keep going. I feel so much freer than ever before. Kari is amazing!
