Hello, I'm Kara, a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Theology, Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy at Wilfrid Laurier University. My passion for psychotherapy stems from my personal journey and extensive background in personal development, conscious leadership, and high-performance teams.

Why Work with Me

I understand firsthand the challenges many individuals face these days, having navigated similar paths in finding direction, building relationships, and fostering healthy habits. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Drama from the University of Guelph, complemented by certifications in professional coaching (ICF) and licenses as a dance instructor and fitness trainer. For over 20 years, I’ve collaborated with diverse populations in corporate and community settings.

If you’re hesitant about therapy, know that taking this step is an empowering choice toward self-discovery and personal growth. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your emotions, equipping you with the tools to manage life’s complexities. My goal is to empower you to harness your inner strengths and achieve personal transformation.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is holistic, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered. I believe that human beings are self-healers and experts of their own lives. I create non-judgmental spaces where you can feel safe to open up and explore your inner world. Drawing from evidence-based practices, my goal is to help you process your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in engaging, meaningful, and transformative ways.  I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals.

I encourage you to reach out for any questions or to schedule a consultation. I’m committed to supporting you on your journey toward well-being, helping you uncover clarity, resilience, and fulfillment in your life.
