Hi, I'm Kara -

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Specialist. 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. I offer a safe space where you can explore your thoughts without judgment, understand the roots of your anxiety, and develop tools that actually work in real life. 

If you're ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in your day-to-day life, I'd be honored to support you. Reach out for a free consultation today!

My Approach to Therapy

In therapy, I'll use various evidence-based treatments to help you manage your anxiety.  

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation simply means learning about how anxiety works — in your brain, your body, and your behavior. In therapy, this knowledge becomes a powerful tool. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Have you ever been told "just because you think it doesn't make it true"?  CBT teaches you how to spot unhelpful or distorted thought patterns.  This type of therapy helps to examine and reframe thinking to help manage your anxiety.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

The more you fight anxiety, the stronger it becomes. ACT takes a different path.  ACT is a powerful approach for working with anxiety — not by trying to get rid of it completely, but by changing your relationship to it. 

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment — aware of where you are, what you're doing, and what you're feeling, without judging it or trying to change it. When we're able to be in the present moment, anxiety often has less power.
