About Me

Hi! I'm Kara. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating perinatal mental health, trauma, mood concerns, & attachment wounds.

Education & Experience

I received my Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis in 2013, and since then I have worked in a variety of community health and mental health settings. In my 10+ years of social work, I have learned that when people feel safe, seen, and truly known, they find powerful new ways to connect with themselves and connect with others. I am an EMDR certified and perinatal mental health certified therapist. I have pursued extensive training in trauma-informed, attachment-based modalities such as SAFE EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC). In addition, I have completed 3 years of training with the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.
