Karin has a blended background in both social work and healthcare, holding a master’s degree in social work and is a licensed physical therapist assistant. Karin is also a yoga teacher, and has experience teaching yoga for chronic pain, stress management, recovery from injuries, and fall prevention.

Behavioral health and medical care, working together, can significantly increase the effectiveness of medical treatment. Karin will provide on-site therapy in a familiar location, and in collaboration with the patient’s primary care provider. 

Karin will be working in both our White Salmon and Stevenson offices. We welcome and are excited to have Karin join our team at NSMG.
