I am currently an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. My practice specializes in relationship-focused therapy, and working outside of insurance allows me to provide treatment without many of the limitations. If you're interested in individual therapy for relationship concerns, recent separation, or anxiety, please visit  individual therapy fees page. If you're seeking couples therapy,  for communication, intimacy, trust, & connection issues you can view current couples counseling rates.

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and are typically scheduled once per week, especially at the beginning of treatment. The first initial appointments we meet weekly to build rapport and address all of your concerns and then eventually reduce frequency to bi-weekly. I generally recommend starting with weekly sessions. Meeting consistently helps build momentum, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and create lasting change.Most clients attend weekly sessions for the first 2–3 months, and as progress is made, we often transition to sessions every other week.If you're looking for occasional or monthly sessions from the beginning, my practice may not be the best fit, as meaningful progress is typically achieved through consistent attendance early in the process.The overall length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on the challenges being addressed and the goals you would like to achieve

Yes. Many people come to us struggling with anxiety for years. Kari gives you real clinical tools to help you reduce anxiety--especially if you notice anxiety impacting your relationships.

​Great question and the answer is no! One of the most common concerns couples have before starting marriage counseling is whether the therapist will take one partner's side. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong or place blame on either person. Instead, I work to understand each partner's perspective and help both individuals feel heard, understood, and respected.

Yes. Infidelity can create deep hurt, uncertainty, and a loss of trust in a relationship. Couples therapy can help partners process what happened, understand the factors that contributed to the betrayal, and begin the work of rebuilding trust and emotional connection.Recovery looks different for every couple, but therapy provides a structured space to have difficult conversations, repair the relationship, and decide how to move forward. Kari specializes in helping couples navigate betrayal, trust issues, and relationship challenges through couples therapy in Campbell, CA.
