Supporting Your Growth With Care

Meet Kara: a couples counselor, life coach, and individual therapist who creates an accepting and supportive environment for you to work on your personal life and relationships. She uses emotionally focused, systemic and evidence-based approaches to help deepen your understanding of yourself, increase your emotional connections, and create lasting change.

 

Hi there! I’m Kara. In my work as a marriage counselor, individual therapist, and life coach, I believe that YOU are the biggest agent of change in your life. Yes, it’s true, sometimes we can get stuck – stuck in patterns both internally and in our relationships — but I believe that you have everything you need to be happy and successful.

In our work together, I will empower you to find acceptance, compassion, and joy within yourself and in your relationships. My style is supportive, encouraging, and active. Together, we can identify strengths, obstacles, and areas of growth to create lasting change in your life. 

I have completed training in the Gottman Method of couples counseling, which is an evidence-based counseling approach that provides a structured, step-by-step process for rebuilding the foundation of relationships, gaining new constructive communication skills, and repairing your strong emotional bond. I use this perspective to provide you with foundational skills for building openness, understanding, and love. I am experienced in helping couples work on self- and relational exploration to understand why we do the things we do in our relationships.

It’s important to consider the context in which we live our lives. We will look at the circumstances and life events that make you who you are (e.g. work/career, relationships, upbringing, societal messages, and more) and how these impact your happiness. We can identify the limiting beliefs and messages that still shape your life today, and through self-compassion and acceptance, overcome self-criticism and self-doubt.

I would love the opportunity to support you and collaborate with you! I invite you to schedule a free consultation with me so we can talk about your hopes and goals, and how I can help you accomplish them.
