Hello, I’m Cara, a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in social work. My approach is warm, down‐to‐earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and use practical, evidence‐based tools like coping strategies, mindset shifts, and boundary work. I make space for humor and real connection, combining these skills with deeper exploration of patterns, self‐compassion, and emotional insight to support lasting, meaningful change.

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


I am a multi-state Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, chronic stress, and the exhaustion of people-pleasing. If you spend your energy keeping the peace, putting others first, or carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs, it’s easy to feel drained, anxious, and disconnected from yourself. I help clients heal from past trauma, move through burnout, and build healthier boundaries that last. You deserve a grounded, compassionate space where you don’t have to play a role, keep everyone happy, or figure everything out on your own.
