Kara is the best counselor I’ve ever had. I had been seeing a different counselor for over a year but did not feel I was excelling, and my life had gotten even harder- so I decided to make a switch and I started seeing Kara. After only a few sessions with her I felt I’d made so much more progress than I had in the entire last year! Her approach with me was practical, consistent, and very clear. Every exercise we did together had a purpose, and built on the work we’d already done together. Even when we got into deeper, harder topics, Kara made sure I was ready to tackle them and that I had the tools in my toolbox to thrive, and knew the techniques to apply in my every day life when I felt overwhelmed, or needed to hold boundaries, or create space for healing. She’s patient and kind, but also held me accountable and pushed me when I needed it, and with amazing results. She has helped me break decades-old, unhelpful thought patterns I didn’t think I’d ever be free of. I would recommend Kara for anyone seeking to make positive changes within themselves through counseling.
