Hi, I'm Kari!
Has a chronic illness, or caring for someone who has one, quietly taken over your energy, your relationships, and your sense of who you are?
The appointments, the exhaustion, and the grief of a life that looks different than you planned are heavy to carry, especially when you are expected to just manage. You may be feeling exhausted and unseen, grieving a version of life you did not choose.
I am Kari, and I support adults, couples, and families navigating chronic illness, caregiver burnout, and the strain these place on connection. Together we make room for the grief and exhaustion, and we find sustainable ways forward that respect what your body and life can actually manage. I welcome individuals, couples, and families depending on what you need, and I move at a pace that respects your energy on the harder days.
My work spans chronic pain, cancer recovery, autoimmune conditions, and medical trauma, alongside anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout, and I support couples and families, including parents of neurodivergent kids, and offer affirming care for LGBTQ clients.
If you are ready to feel supported rather than stretched thin, reach out for a complimentary consultation. It comes with no obligation, simply a way to see whether I am someone you feel comfortable working with.
