Hi there, I'm Kara!

I work with adults struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, motivation, co-parenting, and trauma rooted in domestic violence, child abuse, and addiction. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs.

My focus

I work with young adults through late adulthood navigating life transitions or low points. Many clients experience anxiety, depression, maladaptive behaviors, and negative thought patterns. I help you challenge your thoughts and behaviors while utilizing your strengths to navigate life's circumstances in a healthier, more positive manner.

My approach

My therapeutic approach varies based on the needs of my clients. I typically employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, enabling my clients to navigate life circumstances while maintaining forward momentum toward their future goals.
