Statement from Cara

With the complexity of the human experience, individuals often need a place to process their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, beliefs, values, traumas, relationships, responsibilities, expectations, disappointments, roles, coping methods, development ect. I feel privileged to meet clients where they are at in their process, and collaboratively identify where they would like to be. I have more than 13 years experience working with adolescents, trauma, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, peer conflicts, adjustments, grief, substance use, addiction, relationship violence, and sleep issues. I utilize a variety of evidenced based practices, such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental place for clients to start working towards their therapeutic goals.
