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.

Reviewed November 2024

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.

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.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Working with Cara has been absolutely amazing. I’ve had a handful of therapists in my life and she has been the best by far. I’m so happy to have found her after not loving the first therapist I was matched with. She is extremely kind, gentle, and understanding, while also holding you accountable. She values you as a human, not just a client. She is very intentional and detailed with her insights and you can rely on her to stay in touch with you throughout the week if you reach out to her. She tries to use different resources that will resonate with you and I can tell she caters to each client based on their specific needs.

Cara has been incredible since my boyfriend & I got linked up with her about 3 months ago. We have couples sessions as well as individual and she’s been a godsend. We have a blended family made up of two extremely strong minded adults, my teenage son who I’ve been a single mom to for 5 years previously & lives with us full time and his 6 yr old daughter 40% of the time. To put it lightly, we are action packed with issues we haven’t encountered until dating and Cara has navigated us through very trying times so far. She’s great at not putting blame on anyone directly & addressing both of our concerns, even offering to have my son sit in on sessions. She communicates clearly & slowly after letting things sink in, she gets back to us promptly and is confident in the advice she gives, instilling confidence in us. I have already recommended her to another couple and will continue to do so in the future.
