I have worked with adolescents, adults and the elderly.

Our work together will be suited to your needs. That is, one client may choose talk therapy, whereas another prefers the hands-on approach of energy field healing, and a third opts to combine both of these approaches. Regardless of the mode of treatment, we are always aware that the whole person includes body, mind and spirit and so will involve and integrate them as much as possible. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive, skill building, Gestalt, client-centered, guided imagery, inner child work, or energy healing depending on the needs and style of growth of the client.

Hello, my name is Cara. I am EMDR trained. I enjoy working with all clients, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients and my goal is to help clients navigate through their own therapeutic process and life experiences.

I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, teens, and young adults to assess attention, learning, executive-functioning, and social/emotional difficulties. I employ a highly specialized assessment protocol that leads to meaningful home- and school-based recommendations to help children reach their potential. My electronic reports provide online, interactive links to websites, videos, and learning tools that extend the usefulness of the testing. I specialize in working with children with symptoms of ADHD, Learning Disabilities, anxiety, and Autism Spectrum Disorder who struggle with executive-functioning skills and have difficulty completing homework or appear disorganized, distracted, or inflexible in problem solving.

Choosing the right therapist can feel overwhelming; how do you find that person with whom you can develop an authentic relationship who will also be skilled enough to know where and how to challenge you?

The life pressures we feel can manifest as anxiety, anger or sadness that blocks our view and holds us back from the life fulfillment that we know can be ours. Therapy is not a mystery: it is logical, structured and often, life-changing.

My therapeutic approach is short-term, practical and compassionate.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I specialize in evaluating complex cognitive and behavioral problems that often pose a dilemma for individuals, parents, teachers, and treating professionals. I believe that a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation should provide an in-depth understanding of the entire person, including their cognitive style, emotional style, and strengths as well as weaknesses. The immediate goal is to arrive at an accurate diagnosis that will guide treatment, but the ultimate purpose is to promote deeper self-understanding and to enable each person to achieve his or her true potential.

I am a licensed mental health counselor who takes a validating and collaborative approach to help address these challenges.
