About

My name is Cara and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the State of Missouri. I have been practicing in the field of social work for over seven years. I graduated from Missouri State University with a Masters Degree in Social Work. My experience includes working with foster and adoption youth, their biological parents, reunification of children back with their biological families and the stress and anxiety that the individuals involved experience. I also have experience in trauma, depression, coping skills, relationship issues, self-esteem, and adjustment struggles.

My approach combines trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, systems theory, solution focused therapy, and using a strengths-based approach when needed, to get you to a place where you feel relaxed and at ease. We will always start where you are, working together towards the goals you want to achieve.

This is a safe space for you and your feelings, where you don’t have to act a certain way. You are free to express your feelings in an unedited manner as you sort through them without judgment. Participating in therapy is not an easy process, but I promise I will be with you each step of the way!

I look forward to working with you.
