Where healing meets peak performance.

Through working with her, I've been able to discover so many links and ah-ha moments that have allowed me to go deeper into healing my wounds in ways I've never done before. I've been to many therapists throughout my life who only scratched the surface; Kara's therapy in conjunction with her method of EMDR have significantly increased my understanding of my trauma, created greater self-acceptance, has afforded me the ability to self-soothe, and move through my healing journey with greater grace. I feel fully supported, safe and cared for in her presence, and cannot thank her enough for her unwavering confidence in me.”

The EMDR had a significant and positive impact on my daughter’s soccer performance and overall mental health. Prior to working with you, her self esteem was very impacted by the concussion because she couldn't play like she did before. Now, I can see that she has reclaimed parts of herself and I believe she feels whole again! I don't want her entire self esteem to be tied up in her performance, but she is good at it and likes to perform at a high level. I believe it was necessary that she achieve some type of mastery over the concussion incident so That she could have the emotional freedom to play the way she wanted to play. Overall, she is a much happier and confident girl.”

I am a woman in an executive role who is also a new mom navigating the balance of both these worlds. The tension and anxiety of this alone has been challenging, but I'm also healing internal wounds from childhood trauma in the hopes of stopping my negative patterns and not passing them to my child. It has been a lot to chew, and I couldn't be happier that I'm doing it.”

Kara's approach and process have changed my child's life trajectory, both in her sport and outside of competition. Within 6 sessions over 8 weeks, my daughter transformed from being paralyzed with competition anxiety to a joyful, engaged athlete. And her overall mental health also improved significantly within that time frame. I knew that my daughter had been struggling with intense competition anxiety. So I was pushing her to compete more often to overcome the fear and become "used to" the high stress of competition.

However, my well-intentioned approach only intensified the anxiety to a wholly unmanageable and heightened level until she could no longer compete. Additionally, I could see it spilling over into other areas of her life, like social and school. Kara's approach identified the underlying events that were the root cause of the anxiety and helped her to reprocess them. As her parent, I couldn't believe the therapeutic approach's effectiveness and impact.”
