There is nothing wrong with you.
In fact,
the qualities you are most ashamed of
will lead you to your greatest gifts.
You can release
the beliefs and behaviors
that have led
to your unhappiness and struggle
so you can bring
your joy & wisdom to the world.
Maybe you're anxious and can't figure out why exactly. Or maybe you feel invisible or like you don't have a voice or don't belong. Maybe, if you just knew how to talk to your partner or your boss differently, you could really get along! Whatever is happening for you, you know it's got to be better than this.
I'm here to help you figure out what isn't working and why- deeply listening to what is important to you and supporting you in developing Self kindness.
Hi, there! I'm Kara.
I am a therapeutic coach, a facilitator of circles, a bringer of play and introspection, a sign language interpreter, a former park ranger and a deep listener.
My story started with years of struggling. Stuck. Feeling alone, ashamed and broken.
Luckily, connection with nature led me to learn how to connect with others, which led me to a developing a loving relationship with myself.
Now, I bring welcome and curiosity to conversations about what matters to you and what gets in the way.
"Trauma is not what happens to us,
but what we hold inside
in the absence of an empathetic witness."

"Kara is a gifted and insightful coach. She listens closely and helps me see more clearly my feelings, values and needs. I also appreciate her ability to weave together both Nonviolent Communication and Internal Family Systems approaches. Kara brings kindness, warmth, enthusiasm and insight to this work -- she's a gem."
Carrie L., CA
"Kara has been a compassionate guide who understands despair, yet offers hope. She provides a sense of grounded optimism by acknowledging the darkness, while holding faith that by holding and welcoming the dark parts, we can arrive at a place where the light can shine through. Working with her has given me permission to get to know all my parts...not just the pretty ones. Any part that wants to show up to the party is welcome."
Halle M., CA
"Kara teaches a fantastic course! Her knowledge, warmth and authenticity shine through. She knows how to listen well, have empathy for participants and provide helpful feedback. I very much enjoyed her class and was able to look deeply inside myself. She models what she teaches, allowing herself to be vulnerable, kind, patient and sensitive to the group needs."
