Introduction

Hi, I’m Cara, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. After careers in social work and a detour in volunteer and healthcare administration, I've returned to my original calling and have embraced this path with the wisdom that comes from living a full life. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, parts work, and more. I believe we are created for connection, and that our emotions—unlike our thoughts—orient us honestly to our present experience. Understanding our emotional landscape is essential to healing and growth. My Christian worldview shapes how I practice: I believe each person is uniquely created, deeply valued, and capable of overcoming hardship. Change begins within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, acceptance, honesty, and emotional connection. Together, we'll explore how your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions impact your well-being and relationships, honoring where you've been as we move toward where you want to go. Through our work together, you'll find support as you move toward hope, healing, and more fulfilling relationships.
