Great to meet you!

My name is Kara (she/her) and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor as well as a Certified Sex Therapist. I have a soft spot in my heart for working with the worried well, hopelessly lost, and just plain stuck people of the world. I've been a therapist for twenty years and I have experiencing supporting people in their journey to improve their generalized mental health. I also have advanced training to help people who are struggling with issues connected to sex and intimacy. I want to help my clients improve any area of their life that might feel stagnant or stale or broken.

My approach to therapy

Therapy should be a safe place where you can lay it all out there. You and I will work together to try to make sense of yourself and your life. Then, we work as a team to create the changes you desire. My style of therapy is conversational and collaborative, with a foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) guiding my treatment interventions. I accept clients both virtually as well as in person, Monday through Friday during the daytime.

What you can expect from me

I've heard it all and I'm not here to judge or criticize. My office is a safe space where you can get support to figure out what's holding you back and how to move forward. Life is too short to for you to keep this cycle going. I work with my clients to find growth, healing, confidence, and acceptance in their lives. I would love to be a part of your journey to help you to understand your feelings, to feel satisfied with your sex life, to lift your mood, and more.
