I believe it is crucial for those seeking counseling to encounter a safe and compassionate environment. My goal is to meet clients where they are with warmth, connection, faith in their ability to achieve the outcomes they desire, compassionate challenge, and even humor. I hope that clients leave their therapy experience with increased awareness and insight, new skills, a sense of relief, and expanded knowledge about themselves, others and the world around them.

I'm passionate about helping clients work through trauma/PTSD, anxiety & panic attacks, interpersonal relationship concerns, depression, loneliness, perfectionism, dysfunctional family systems, people-pleasing, communication issues, multicultural identity concerns, faith struggles, and ADHD. I strive to take the time to engage with each person’s unique personality and story and believe that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

It is not uncommon for people to struggle as they go about their everyday lives. Often these struggles are easily overcome, such as running late for an appointment or getting a flat tire, but at other times these struggles are more serious, affecting individuals at a deeper level. For example, depression can make it difficult to get out of bed in the morning or anxiety can paralyze decision making, while both can lead to isolation from friends, family, and other support systems that are the best resources in such moments. Likewise trauma can lead to self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness. Most people want something better.

Each of us come with a unique set of life experiences. My hope is to provide you with a space to explore the impact of these life experiences and the role they play in your individual and relational functioning! My professional experience is reflected in a variety of settings including trauma-work, depression, anxiety, life transitions, attachment, pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, and family counseling. If there is one thing you should know about what I believe it’s this: context matters! It matters because it provides meaning to the social, cultural, and environmental factors that influence the life of every human.

Religious trauma often coincides with believing that your heart is deceitful, your mind is fallen, your emotions are dangerous, and your body is sinful—beliefs that can be deeply rooted in your faith system. If you resonate with this, you understand the profound work that religious trauma survivors face in their healing journeys. Untangling these dehumanizing beliefs from your psyche is no small task. When you’ve been taught not to trust yourself, it can feel impossible to recognize the truth in your own thoughts, feelings, and physical responses. My role is to help you identify and navigate this tension.

Hi, I'm Cara and I've been practicing mental health since 2010. It wasn't until I gave birth in 2021 that I realized a real need for counselors trained in all things postpartum. Postpartum issues can range from depression and anxiety to Bipolar disorder, grief, OCD, PTSD, and psychosis. They can also be present in someone other than the one who gave birth! Partners, close social supports, adoptive parents, and even birthing professionals can experience these issues. With the right treatment things can get better! If you're experiencing any issues listed above, regardless of parental status I'd love to help.

As a trans, queer, and neurodivergent individual, I understand how difficult it is to navigate challenges related to gender, sexuality, and identity in general. I am passionate about serving anyone who may have been marginalized for who they are and how they exist in the world. I am skilled in issues related to LGBTQIA+ individuals, particularly those with a background of spiritual or religious trauma. I also have experience in supporting the development of gender diversity, neurodiversity, non-monogamy, and BDSM. I hope to support and advocate for my clients as we work to create spaces that are more inclusive and welcoming to all.

Folks that come to me for support struggle to manage the thoughts and feelings that lead to relapse and mental health crises. My experience tells me that these folks feel disconnected from themselves and their community. Establishing connectivity to their friends, family, and their broader social setting is crucial for wellness and for healing. Everyone has the goal of contentment and peace of mind, and substance abuse more than most challenges undermines the fulfillment of these basic needs. To heal and prosper, substance abusers and trauma survivors need to practice self care in the bio psychosocial-spiritual way of life.

Taylor has worked in the field of mental health for nearly ten years involving direct contact with children, adolescent, and adult survivors of trauma. She has directly worked with survivors from various ranges of abuse and neglect to help instill physical safety, healthy boundaries, and hope. She firmly believes there is no “one way” to partake in therapy and sometimes it takes multiple attempts to bring light and awareness to those areas in our lives keeping us stuck and in the dark. She looks forward to supporting you during this time of healing and self-exploration.

I enjoy working collaboratively with women who feel stuck in a particular place. Often these times are during a transition phase of life coupled with some grieving for a particular phase of life being left behind. I have a natural curiosity for why people do the things they do and this helps me to be inquisitive yet not judgemental regarding a person's behavior. I have a strong faith based background and will seek to use whatever spiritual strengths a person has to move them further along in the process of healing and adjusting to their new reality.
