About me

Hi there! I am glad you took this step towards healing and growth. Whatever your specific struggles are, I can help lead you towards their resolution. My approach is to create a safe and grounded space for you while getting to the root of your issue. Healing from a foundational place will create lasting changes over time. As we uncover these deeper layers, I make sure that you feel grounded and maintain a sense of calm and safety. My goal is to help you heal, grow, become more resilient and feel confident in facing whatever life may present to you in the future. I also work with you to help you move from simply surviving to actually thriving. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have a master's degree in counselor education. I have 6 years of experience in anxiety and trauma counseling and have run anxiety groups in the past. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy and pull from multiple counseling disciplines in order to tailor the therapy for each individual. Some of these include: Emotion-Focused Therapy, CBT, ACT, Existential Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Schema Therapy. I am also a dance instructor and know the importance of movement and art in the healing process. I am able to incorporate my training in this area with some clients as needed as well.

Cara is very professional, kind and warm. She has a brilliant way of talking about things with theory and facts, whilst also providing interesting and creative analogies to make concepts and experiences more relatable. She has a great sense of humour that has allowed me to open up to her quickly, which has enabled me to be honest with myself and talk about difficult things. Overall she has a very positive approach and is always encouraging me to accomplish the goals I’ve set out to achieve. I highly recommend her!
