Hi! My name is Cara and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding my license for over 20yrs. I have worked with those battling addiction, adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety and conflict resolution. I have experience working with adolescents, families, couples and individuals. My experiences include working in outpatient, residential, in-home and most recently virtual counseling settings.
In our first session, I will gather a brief history of what guided you to seek therapy. This will be beneficial to the development of your goals and the tools to achieve them. I will also share a bit more about what to expect from me during your therapy experience as well as answer any questions you have about my process.
I believe in listening to what the client needs while also challenging them. At times I can be very direct, which has been appreciated by those I would with. I feel the way to do this is building a good rapport and to have open communication.
I look forward to working with those who are eager for change, whether this be adolescents, adults or couples. I love to help clients identify their strengths and how to utilize them for their growth.

I believe in using support, encouragement and empathy when helping clients navigate through difficulties they are facing. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment while also being direct so we are able to develop tools and goals for change.
I utilize EFT to help clients understand their emotions and how to regulate them. I work with clients to understand their emotions, to identify them, accept them and to express them appropriately. I have found validating emotions to be beneficial in the therapeutic process.

cara has already helped immensely, and we only have had two sessions. she is kind and empathetic, but still makes me really reflect by asking direct and honest questions. she is eager to get to the root of the problem, and not just put a band-aid over things. she is the therapist i needed, and i look forward to working with her more.
