Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Cara, a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in social work. My approach is warm, down‐to‐earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and use practical, evidence‐based tools like coping strategies, mindset shifts, and boundary work. I make space for humor and real connection, combining these skills with deeper exploration of patterns, self‐compassion, and emotional insight to support lasting, meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my main goal is to help you feel welcomed, heard, and not rushed. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’re hoping will feel different, and any worries you have about starting therapy. I’ll ask some gentle questions to get to know your story, share how I work, and together we’ll decide on a few simple next steps so you leave with a clear sense of direction.
