Description
Welcome to Creative Spirit Therapy. Hi there, I'm Kari. I help people create the lives they desire in a world they can live in. We go through our whole lives acting like everything’s fine, but you don’t have to look very far beneath the surface to see there’s more going on behind our brave faces. I hope you'll leave my office feeling inspired, motivated, and loving your life. I provide one-to-one counselling sessions to all adult residents of BC, online or in person, with two office locations in Kitsilano (West 4th & Bayswater) and East Vancouver (Hastings & Slocan).
