I started my professional nursing career taking care of people before and after having cardiovascular surgery. I then transitioned to high-risk labor and delivery where I spent most of my career as a Registered Nurse prior to becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. OBGYN is where my knowledge, skills, and passion align! I love taking care of individuals and their families during their pregnancies, as well as supporting women throughout the lifespan. I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor and enjoy supporting the feeding journey between parents and their babies. I am particularly interested in high-risk pregnancies, exercise in pregnancy, and partnering with patients to be the healthiest versions of themselves throughout every phase of their life. In my free time I enjoy spending time outside with my family, gardening, and taking care of my chickens.

Kari is fantastic. She really listens, and I feel she shows genuine interest and concern for her patients. I absolutely love the fact that she comes into the room prepared like she took the time to review my chart before seeing me. She is friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. I'm so glad my primary care physician recommended this practice.
