Hi there, I'm Kara!
I believe therapy is most effective when it addresses overall wellness—physical, mental, and spiritual—and leads to meaningful lifestyle changes. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD, and I have experience across a wide range of behavioral health and emotional challenges.
My focus
I work with clients who prefer to incorporate Christian values in treatment, artistic individuals, and those navigating trauma, mood disorders, and grief.
My approach
My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and integrated. I draw from evidence-based techniques including CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based stress reduction, ACT, holistic, and faith-based methods. The approaches I use most often are CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
