Kari is a licensed clinical mental health therapist and member of the ACA and ACES. She provides mental health therapy for residents of Wyoming, Montana and Colorado offering both in-person and telehealth services. Kari operates her private practice through a transformative feminist lens and focuses on supporting women.

Kari was born and raised in Montana. She understands rural living, life in open spaces and the importance of community and neighbors- she understands survivability and unpredictability and how loneliness and fulfillment can exist at the same time. Because of this relationship to nature, Kari spent the first part of her therapeutic career providing wilderness and outdoor therapy to youth. She then transitioned into training staff and running family therapy retreats in the outdoors.

In Spring of 2024, Kari had her first child. This personal transformative experience led her to examine her approach working with other parents. Through this examination, she realized her education and training for providing perinatal support was inadequate. Since then Kari has focused her ongoing education on perinatal mental health support. She has received Maternal Mental Health training through the Postpartum Support International and is conducting her dissertation on maternal mental health.

Kari is currently working on her Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision from her M.A. Alma Mater, Saybrook University.
