Kari comes to Touch of Healing as a counseling intern after a diverse and meaningful career journey. For 25 years, she worked in technology, where she learned how to solve complex problems, think strategically, and communicate clearly. Later, as a flight attendant, she developed a deep appreciation for human connection by supporting people during moments of stress, transition, fear, excitement, and everything in between. Throughout her career, one constant has remained: she has always been drawn to helping people. Her education path reflects that calling.

• Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Anthropology

• Master of Science (MS) in Educational Psychology

• PhD in Leadership Studies with concentration in Psychology

She is currently completing her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of the Cumberlands. Becoming a counselor feels less like a career change and more like coming home to who I have always been. I believe in creating a space where clients of all ages feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Whether you are navigating mental health stress, changes, relationship difficulties, or simply seeking greater clarity and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You do not have to do it alone.

She is currently working under the direct supervision of Sandra Rawlings, LPC, LPC-S.
