Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Kara. I have a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My therapy practice focuses on supporting LGBTQ adults and individuals and couples navigating fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood. I enjoy working with clients on identity, grief/ loss, and major life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and perinatal mental health certified (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International.

My approach to therapy

I believe curiosity, compassion, and humor all aid in healing. I am actively engaged in sessions and am committed to being responsive to what works or doesn't work for you in the therapy relationship.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together we will clarify what you want most out of therapy and collaborate on a roadmap. It's my goal that you leave this session feeling more understood and hopeful than before we spoke.
