My Background and Approach

Kara centers her focus on working with adolescents and adults with specialties serving individuals who are transgender, gender diverse as well as their families. Kara provides psychotherapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families in cooperation with their psychiatrists, clergy, and surrounding communities. She has also developed and supervised mental and behavioral health intervention and treatment programs. Over the years, Kara has dedicated her time to assisting EMR’s with a clinical background to improve their platform and include more evidence-based material for more effective practices.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In Kara’s work with you, her goal will be to improve your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to enhance your quality of life. Kara’s goal is to provide simplistic educational tools curtailed to each client’s needs to understand therapy in its simplest form as “a stripping down of one’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, feelings, traumas, experiences to gain a more efficient understanding of a deep personal self-awareness.” As individuals learn more about themselves and their surroundings, they will garner self-actualization, enjoy life more frequently, and achieve their work, family life balance, and goals.
