Introduction

Hello, I'm Kara. I work frequently with individuals who may feel they are often misunderstood, struggling with intense emotions or struggling with a sense of self. Many of the individuals I work with frequently are adjusting working through a life transition or working on maintaining sobriety. I also enjoy working with couples who are exploring or struggling with issues related to being in an ethical non-monogamy relationship. In therapy, we’ll work together to better understand what’s happening for you, reconnect with your values, and build the tools and insight you need to move forward.
