Hey I’m Kara, let’s get to know each other

Whatever has brought you here, whether it's the weight of your thoughts, the challenges of anxiety or depression, or the uncertainty life sometimes brings, I want you to know that you are welcome. I’m here to walk alongside you as you gain a deeper understanding of how your experiences have shaped who you are. I believe that our physical, emotional, and mental selves are deeply connected, and I approach our work together from a place of compassion and curiosity. Drawing from humanistic, somatic, mindfulness, and cognitive-based approaches, I aim to offer tools and insights that help you feel more whole and empowered.

At the heart of my work is the belief that you are the expert of your own life. Counseling can be both a challenging and deeply rewarding journey, one that allows us to better understand ourselves and navigate life's ups and downs. We all carry our own stories of disconnection, relational struggles, trauma, and hardship. My approach views healing as the process of embracing the complexities of being human and uncovering the resilience and wisdom that already resides within us.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade in the corporate world, where I learned first-hand about boundaries, relationships, stress, burnout, and the inner work that led me to this role. If you’re ready to dive in, explore new insights, or simply need a space to connect and learn mindfulness tools, therapy can be a wonderful way to move toward a more aligned and authentic sense of self.

My areas of speciality include personal development, inner child work, and self-esteem related issues like low-confidence. I also have a strong focus on helping individuals navigate the complexities of relationships, whether it’s family dynamics, friendships, romantic partnerships, or the challenges that come with breakups. I am deeply passionate about working together toward your personal empowerment and Self-leadership.
