If you ever notice yourself thinking…

“I feel like I’m doing everything wrong, even when I’m trying my best.”

”Everything is “fine”, why am I not happy?”  

“Why can’t I just relax?”

“I’m exhausted from overthinking everything.”

“Why is it so hard for me to do things that others find so easy to do?”

“I know what I need to do, but I can’t seem to do it.”

“I want connection, but relationships feel exhausting.”

You are not alone.

I am here to help you find happiness and control in your life, your relationships, and in yourself- on your terms.

Feeling stuck? Wondering if things can ever change? Thinking nobody can understand what you're going through?

Then you’ve come to the right place

I’m Cara, a licensed therapist in St. Petersburg, FL.

I want to help you feel like you have control over your emotions and your life, rather than feeling like they control you. Together, we'll build on your strengths, challenge patterns that are no longer serving you, and develop skills that support the life you want to create. Clients who work with me leave therapy feeling more confident in themselves and their ability to effectively manage difficult situations and emotions.

I strive to help people make sense of their experiences without jumping straight to labels or blame. My role is to show you what options you have and for you to gain the tools that actually make the difference that you want to see in your life. My goal is to create a space for you to be able to understand yourself in ways that are genuine and hopeful, to feel like you can navigate through your challenges in ways that truly work for you, and to to help you work with your brain instead of against it.
