Life is too short to stay stuck in behaviors, relationships, and patterns that detract rather than enhance our lives. At some point in all of our lives, we are likely to find ourselves stagnant and in need of a change, unsure which direction to go in a time of transition, or just dissatisfied and maybe not even sure why. It can be difficult to know where and how to begin the journey to change and growth. Or even to know what you want that change to be right now. If this resonates with you, know that you are not the only one! Therapy can provide the structure and support to identify what isn't working for you, what you would like to do about it, and how to create the change you want for yourself. I love working with adolescents and adults who are curious about how life could be better for them and committed to the work it takes to find meaning, peace, and satisfaction. Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist takes courage and can be really daunting. Get to know more about me, my approach, and if I might be a good fit for your needs by visiting my website. Or (deep breath) giving me a call. I'd love to hear from you!

Sometimes it's tough to go it alone. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and support, whether we're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, gender identity, sexual orientation, or general life stress. Kudos to you for taking the first step. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults, and together we figure out a plan on how to move through whatever's going on. You know more than you think you do - and we will navigate the challenges together.

Alongside therapeutic work, I am passionate about the different tools that we can use in order to initiate holistic healing, including things like: nutrition, meditation, exercise, community, spiritual practices, 12-step programs, rest and fun (yes-even fun)!

Do you sometimes feel sad without fully understanding why, or notice your mind or body longing for rest but feeling stuck in overdrive or shut down? You might feel self-critical, protective, angry, or self-sabotaging while also longing for closeness, gentleness, and care. If you’re navigating developmental trauma, complicated grief, or relational wounds, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a supportive place to gently sort through what feels overwhelming, explore the parts of you carrying hurt or protection, and begin shifting patterns to create more space for inner peace and connection. I work with young adults who are living with the impact of developmental and complex trauma, including early attachment wounding and experiences within relationships that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others. My work supports clients navigating dissociation, including DID/OSDD, emotional overwhelm, and relational challenges, as well as those seeking deeper understanding of their internal experiences. Please reach out to me to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Kara! College can bring both exciting opportunities and overwhelming stress. Sometimes past experiences or unresolved trauma make it even harder to manage the pressures of academics, relationships, and figuring out your future. If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious, or like your emotions are “too much,” you’re not alone. I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, two evidence-based approaches that help your mind and body process painful experiences so you don’t have to stay stuck in the past. My work is also grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other trauma-informed, attachment-based models. Together, we’ll work to help you understand and manage stress, anxiety, and depression, heal from relationship wounds or painful past experiences, build resilience and expand your capacity to handle life’s ups and downs, and feel more grounded, confident, and connected. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR Certified, and have completed 3 years of training with the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. My approach is collaborative, holistic, and tailored to your needs. If you’d like to learn more, I offer a free 20-minute consultation. Reach out by phone or email- I’d love to connect with you.
