Get to Know Cara

       As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Bergen County New Jersey, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to my practice. My first degree was a BA in English, which laid the foundation for my strong communication skills and empathetic approach. After working in business for many years, I felt a deep calling to make a more meaningful impact on people's lives.

      In my late 30s, I made the decision to return to school and earned my Master's in Counseling, with a concentration in clinical mental health. As a lifelong Jersey Girl, I'm passionate about supporting the mental health and well-being of my local community.

     Prior to opening my private practice, I gained invaluable experience working at two of the top eating disorder treatment centers in the country. These formative experiences equipped me with a trauma-informed perspective and a deep understanding of the complex challenges faced by individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

        My favorite part of being a therapist is witnessing the transformative change that occurs when clients tap into their inherent strengths and resilience. I approach each session with optimism, compassion, and a genuine desire to help my clients achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives.

Whether you're seeking support for an eating disorder, managing anxiety or depression, or navigating a major life change, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we'll work to uncover your unique strengths, cultivate self-acceptance, and empower you to create the life you deserve.
