Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, PMH-C
Accepting clients Last Updated 25 days ago

Hi! I'm Kara. I provide individualized therapy for trauma resolution, stress management, anxiety, depression, and relationship wounds. I also see folks who are wanting to explore pregnancy and parenting experiences in all shapes, sizes, and forms. All are welcome here.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am an EMDR certified and perinatal mental health certified therapist. I have pursued extensive training in trauma-informed, attachment-based modalities such as SAFE EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC). In addition, I have completed 3 years of training with the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.

Have you ever found yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure? You are not alone. Whether you are in the middle of present heartaches or seeking healing from past wounds, my approach is holistic, collaborative, and aimed to help you process painful experiences, explore new coping strategies, and increase resources to help you heal.

If you'd like to connect to learn more, reach out via phone or email to set up a time for a free 20 minute consultation. I look forward to learning more about you and your needs.
