Hi there, I'm Kara!
I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with over 25 years of experience in medical social work and psychotherapy. I’m also a Board-Certified Bariatric Counselor and Poetry Therapist. I provide individual therapy (holistic focus), poetry therapy, and bariatric psychological evaluations and support.
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals navigating health issues, aging-related changes, overeating, obesity, bariatric support needs, anxiety, stress management, life transitions, size stigma, body image concerns, and self-care, including sustaining healthy boundaries and communication.
My approach
I use an eclectic variety of therapeutic approaches, individualized to your needs, goals, and strengths. These may include mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, journaling, positive psychology, meditation, somatic techniques, and solution-focused work. My holistic style focuses on mind-body-spirit.
