Hi! I’m Kara. My clients often identify as “seekers” who value growth through the lifespan and want to live their lives with authenticity. My clinical interests include the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma-bond recovery, life transitions, perinatal work, and grief and loss. I enjoy partnering with individuals in the life long development of identity, value exploration, and intention setting. I also love working with other healing professionals, including social workers/counselors, teachers, health & wellness and medical professionals to find expansion beyond a seemingly all-encompassing role or narrative.

I utilize a holistic therapeutic approach that is trauma-informed and integrates mind-body techniques such as mindfulness practices, breath work, yoga-informed therapy, and nature as medicine. I am EMDR-trained and love supporting survivors of complex trauma, including domestic violence. Neuroscience research, IFS, DBT and ACT also inform my approach.

I offer a container to hold clients’ intricacies with tenderness and curiosity. I believe that each person has their own unique inner wisdom, strength and capacity to access healing. Our partnership will holistically explore the richness of where you have been, where you are now, and where you'd like to go, to fully honor and live your truest story.
