Originally from Chicago, Kari earned her Bachelors degree from Florida State University. She went on to study Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado, and then received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Western University of Health Sciences. Her approach to Physical Therapy combines manual treatment, functional exercise and patient education to provide high quality care. She understands that the rehabilitation process is both a mental and physical journey, and she believes in a collaboration with the patient to help achieve their goals. When she is not working, Kari enjoys anything outdoors including hiking, biking and going to the beach, and she loves to travel whenever she can.
