Hi, I’m Cara 👋 I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (LPC-Associate), supervised by Dr. Wayne Smith, PhD, LPC-S. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Houston–Victoria. I specialize in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy, supporting teens, young adults, and families navigating complex mental health challenges. My approach blends evidence-based practices like DBT, EFT, and Attachment Theory with creative expression, mindfulness, and relational depth. I’m also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Polyvagal Theory, and bring experience in both advocacy and crisis intervention. My goal is to create a space where healing feels honest, collaborative, and sustainable.
