Our Services
Individual Therapy: Evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, and family-of-origin patterns. Kara uses attachment-informed approaches tailored to your specific needs. Most clients find 8–15 sessions helpful.
Couples Therapy: Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most research-backed approaches to relationship repair. Couples learn to identify their cycle of disconnection, explore deeper emotional needs, and build safer ways to reach for each other.
