*** accepting new clients in person *** Life is not easy and you have made the step to seek out help, and for that you are courageous. My name is Cara and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping people in many stages of life. I look forward to cultivating a safe space so that I can best assist you in making steps towards your therapeutic goals.

I currently offer individual therapy to clients in both Maine and Wisconsin. Many clients I work with carry day to day stress and anxiety that is rooted in trauma. We tend to think of trauma as one big moment, but it can also be a culmination of moments leading to a negative narrative of the self and a shift in the way we see and interact in the world. My goal is to teach new skills that will help promote control over ones thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can improve health and happiness across multiple settings- emotionally, psychosomatically, in families or relationships and other areas of life.

Hello! Whether you have done therapy for years or never before, I would be honored to support you during these anxiety provoking times. I am trauma-sensitive and EMDR certified; I provide treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, prenatal and postpartum concerns, grief, relationship conflict, medical hardships and life transitions. I love working with individuals who are ready to be challenged and grow. Using a strength based mindfulness and holistic approach I will empower you to improve your overall well-being and find a healthier balance in your life.

I want you to feel empowered, hopeful, and proud of exactly who you are. As we grow, we all experience transitions and challenges that can shake our core beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our sense of belonging and purpose in this world. I have worked with people of all ages to address the cause and effects of trauma, mental health issues, and substance use disorders on individual and family functioning. I am passionate about helping people work through difficult times or process past experiences to rebuild their sense of self worth, develop healthy coping skills, and confidently move into the future.

Whether brought on by current life transitions, day to day living, or things that happened in the past, therapy is a confidential space for you to organize your thoughts and feelings. Through my work as a therapist, I accompany people on a journey of self-discovery that fosters healing, promotes growth, and enhances overall wellbeing.
