About Cara

I am licensed in Georgia with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in working with all different populations to include: Children, Adolescents, Adults and Geriatrics. My areas of expertise include: helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, self-love and building your confidence. I also have experience working with clients on work place challenges, career difficulties, parenting, family conflicts/dynamics, behavior modification, social phobias, attention deficit and social phobias. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
