Hi there! I'm Kari Goeden, The Walk-and-Talk Therapist. I'm a seasoned relationship therapist and birth doula specializing in women’s empowerment.

I help women tap into their power and intuition to create a life that lights them up. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work from a systemic perspective, always considering the impact that my client’s relationships have on mental wellbeing. I take a holistic approach to mental wellness & believe the path to wellness is most powerfully discovered when incorporating mind + body + spirit. Our bodies and brains are not separate entities—each affects the other.

Whether it’s walking the neighborhood, hitting the trail, taking to the walking pad, or heading to the community center, I help facilitate walk-and-talk sessions that lead to life-changing transformation.
