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. I take a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy - meaning focus is on you as a whole person and reviewing your goals and concerns.

I am an outpatient therapist in private practice taking new clients at this time. I offer EMDR and other trauma modalities. I specialize in working with survivors, women, teens and people who are learning to know their voice, their thoughts, their emotions as life enhancers, and discovering what they need to flourish. I aim to offer clients space to process emotions in a safe place and to come to know themselves and their needs for improved self-efficacy and empowerment.

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.

Hello! I assume you've come because "life is lifeing". Do you feel overwhelmed with your daily life? Has it become harder to keep 'pushing through'? Maybe you are going through some season changes/life transitions. Or perhaps your past has gotten in the way...thoughts you can't stop thinking? Behaviors which are no longer serving you that you are having a hard time changing...? I want to help you get 'unstuck'. In fact, that's my super power! I believe that new thoughts give way to new behaviors, and new behaviors build new life.

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.

Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. The majority of my practice focuses on helping LGBTQ+ individuals navigate anxiety/depression, coming out, trauma recovery, identity development, family of origin issues, etc. I also offer a virtual, grant-funded/FREE support group for parents of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults. My goal as a therapist is to give you the sanctity of an affirming space and to partner with you to achieve (or sometimes rewrite) the desired outcome. NOTE: I do not currently offer couples counseling.

No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths.

By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history and am open to us having a two way therapeutic relationship with feedback and growth through this process.

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 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.

My experience working with at-risk populations has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact trauma has on an individual. I support and work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Clients can expect to enter an accepting, welcoming environment so we can work together through life’s obstacles from the past and help you find peace in the present. I believe that empowerment is one of the strongest tools a client can have so I help facilitate that by holding client-led sessions where I am able to support your experience and help you voice your narrative about it.
