She also integrates Motivational Interviewing, CBT, trauma-focused care, grief therapy, play-based and creative/expressive techniques, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build practical skills and find a way forward through life's moments and challenges. Kara stays flexible and meets everyone where they are in their journey.

She enjoys walking alongside adolescents and adults as they navigate change, discover their strengths, and reconnect with hope, and hopes to help each client uncover the values and purposes that make life meaningful.
