Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kara. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and a Certified Nurse Midwife with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. My unique background allows me to provide comprehensive care that bridges the gap between physical and mental wellness. I specialize in treating depression and anxiety, with a particular focus on supporting individuals through reproductive transitions and postpartum life.

My approach to therapy

I believe the best care starts with a strong partnership. Drawing from my background in midwifery and psychiatry, I create a safe space where we can address your mental health with the nuance it deserves. My style is warm and interactive—I’m here to listen, educate, and work alongside you to find a path toward balance. Whether we are navigating depression, anxiety, or life’s major shifts, my focus is on helping you feel like yourself again.

What you can expect from me

Coming into a first session can be intimidating, so I prioritize building a comfortable and safe environment from the moment we meet. We'll start by exploring your immediate concerns and what you hope to achieve in care. My focus is on establishing a strong partnership; you can expect to leave our first meeting with a shared understanding of your goals and a manageable first step toward feeling better.
