"I need help." As human beings, we all will say this phrase at some point in our lives. Acknowledging a need for help can be uncomfortable, painful or scary. Perhaps you've discovered that something is keeping you from being your best self. Or maybe your relationships, career, or family life is leaving you feeling depleted. Fortunately these struggles do not have to define who you are; change is possible and it can be a beautiful thing. Recognizing and building upon the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and challenges has become a refined skill and passion of mine.
I will provide a safe, encouraging environment in which we will quickly build rapport, establish goals and develop a healthy means of meeting them. Collaboratively, we will build upon your unique set of strengths to empower you on your path to happiness and wellness. I will draw upon different approaches tailored to your individuality.
Asking for help is not easy, but you don't have to do it alone. I look forward to speaking with you so we can begin to discover your resiliency, strengthen your commitment to yourself and renew your hope for a more fulfilling life!

Kara is truly an empath and the person you want in your corner if you are looking for a therapist because she is incredibly supportive, inquisitive, and validating. I could see this as she was my former clinical supervisor and colleague.
