About me

Hi there! I am glad you took this step towards healing and growth. Whatever your specific struggles are, I can help lead you towards their resolution. My approach is to create a safe and grounded space for you, while getting to the root of your issue. Healing from a foundational place will create lasting changes over time. As we uncover these deeper layers, I make sure that you feel grounded and maintain a sense of calm and safety. My goal is to help you heal, grow, become more resilient and feel confident in facing whatever life may present to you in the future. I also work with you to help you move from simply surviving to actually thriving. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have a master's degree in counselor education. I have experience in anxiety and trauma counseling, and have run anxiety groups in the past. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy and pull from multiple counseling disciplines in order to tailor the therapy for each individual. Some of these include: Emotion-Focused Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, ACT, DBT, Existential Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Schema Therapy. For those who request it, I am also able to provide counseling which integrates psychological principles with Christian theology and biblical teachings.

Cara truly changed my life for the positive. I experienced extreme loss and grief over a two year period. She stuck by me and helped guide me through the most transitional period of my life. I am forever grateful for her.

Cara is an amazing therapist and has helped me through some pretty deep stuff as well as some not so deep stuff that I didn’t realize was affecting other areas of my life and vice versa. She definitely knows her stuff and will not only assist you through different dynamics of life, but she will also empower you to build trust with yourself to be more independent in your thoughts and actions.
