Kari Hoffius, PMHNP
Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
My name is Kari Hoffius, and I am proud to call Spring Lake, Michigan my hometown. Family has always been important to me, growing up with two little sisters and a younger brother. Now, as a mother to my one-year-old daughter, Xenia, I find pure joy and purpose in watching her learn and grow!
Alongside the challenges of nursing, I also find solace in weightlifting and conditioning, practices that help me navigate the stresses of life.
Graduating from Baker College with my BSN in 2018 was a milestone that opened doors to diverse nursing experiences. From serving as a cardiac nurse in Hawaii to embarking on travel nursing adventures, each role has shaped my professional path. I believe mental health is incredibly important, and through the use of ketamine therapy, I look forward to helping our patients through their mental health challenges. I am excited to embark on this new chapter of making a positive impact in their lives.
