Cara’s specialties include trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. She also has extensive experience addressing addiction, reproductive challenges, and midlife and later-life transitions. Using therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing, she tailors her treatment plans to meet each client’s unique needs. Cara also offers CBT for insomnia and parenting skills to help clients improve their overall well-being and family dynamics.
Cara is committed to serving diverse populations, including individuals with adoption or foster care experiences, those on the autism spectrum, LGBTQ+ individuals, military members and veterans, and first responders. She has a particular passion for working with adolescents, women, and couples, helping them navigate the complexities of relationships and personal growth. Whether providing in-person therapy in Beachwood, Ohio, or virtual sessions, Cara ensures accessibility and convenience for her clients.
