Karri has a passion for helping people find their way from mental illness to mental wellness. She believes that everyone has a story to tell and that through the work of recovery, people living with mental illness and substance use disorders can rewrite the ending to their own stories. Find her here: wordpress.com/posts/phoenixrisenblog.com
Coming from a strengths-based perspective, Karri uses an eclectic mix of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and positive psychology to help people learn how to live their best lives and become the people they always were meant to be.
As an addictions counselor, Karri can help people find their way out of the quagmire of substance use disorders into a life of recovery. She believes that by faithfully attending 12-step recovery programs, building one’s self-esteem and working to create relapse prevention plans, one can throw off the shackles of substance use disorders.
