kara@flourish-therapy-center.com

Kara specializes in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, disordered eating, body image concerns, substance use, identity exploration, relational trauma, perinatal mental health, burnout, and major life transitions.

Many of the clients Kara works with are thoughtful, high-achieving, and used to holding a lot together—but may find themselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or unsure how to move forward. She offers a warm, collaborative space where clients can slow down, better understand themselves, and explore what may be underneath the thoughts, behaviors, and coping strategies that have helped them get by.

Kara takes a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing the ways mental health, relationships, identity, life experiences, and our relationships with our bodies can intersect. She works with clients experiencing body dissatisfaction, complicated relationships with food and movement, and disordered eating patterns, helping them move toward greater self-compassion, flexibility, and a more peaceful relationship with their bodies—without shame or judgment.

Her approach is tailored to each client's needs and draws from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR. Kara believes that greater awareness creates opportunities for meaningful change and balances a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence with thoughtful challenge. Together, she helps clients deepen insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and build a life that feels more grounded and aligned with their values.

Kara has over 10 years of clinical experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as within insurance systems. She is trained in EMDR (Level 1 through the Center for Excellence) and is a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C).

Outside of work, Kara enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, listening to podcasts, long beach days, live music, football, and reality TV—usually with her French bulldog, Deacon.
