Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Cara! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Specialist. I have 6 years of experience working with teens, young adults and adults around anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships and substance misuse. I have warm and understanding demeanor and believe that all clients have a capacity to grow and learn.

My approach to therapy

My approach with clients is compassionate and curious. I believe that we are products of our environment and that we have adapted to survive. Sometimes those adaptations become unhelpful, no longer serving us. That's when I, as a therapist, get to walk along side you to identify what no longer works for you, helping you gain insight, skills and the self-efficacy to make meaningful, sustainable change. I focus on mind, body and relational health as I believe that the health of our relationships and support system directly impact our capacity for wellbeing.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, I will share about my approach and answer any questions you may have. I will also provide ample space to find out about you, your struggles and your goals for therapy.
