Kara has been very helpful as I navigate and unpack many areas of my life that completely overwhelm me. I appreciate her weekly check ins and tips, prior to our appointment. Kara always follows through, after each appointment providing me with resources that are relevant to our sessions.
I find Kara thoughtful and helpful, compassionate and ‘real’.
