About Us
Hi! I’m Kara,
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) & Certified Personal Trainer in Mountainside, New Jersey. As a counselor, personal trainer, and fitness nutrition specialist, I am uniquely qualified to help you find lasting solutions to your emotional challenges and work with you to optimize your physical health.
I've always been a fitness enthusiast and found exercise for mental well-being to be a powerful outlet. Running, in particular, helped me manage stress that often surfaced as anxiety. After becoming a mother, my anxiety heightened, giving me first-hand insight into the emotional weight many individuals carry.
Whether you're looking for anxiety counseling for adults or more integrative methods that address the mind-body connection, I bring real-life understanding to our sessions.
Mind Body Approach
My approach to counseling embodies whole person health — I focus on both mind-body wellness for optimal well being. Symptoms of anxiety and depression can be a consequence of our lifestyles, and it is crucial to examine areas such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships, & other lifestyle habits.
I am passionate about helping people feel good about themselves and giving them the necessary tools to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. This reflects my commitment to offering NJ mind-body therapy rooted in lifestyle changes and holistic practices.
Why Choose Us
As a teacher, school counselor, and personal trainer, I've had the experience and opportunity to work with individuals to promote their emotional and physical health. Many of my clients battle anxiety and/or depression and have to overcome many emotional and physical hurdles through our journey together.
I tailor my approach directly to each individual's needs and utilize mindfulness techniques to help people embrace the moment and help them focus on the present. We will work together to foster the mind and body connection and understand how much of an impact they have on one another.
I also utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to assist clients in becoming aware of their negative thoughts and replacing them with more positive and productive thinking patterns and behaviors.
I provide support for individuals and families in areas such as Union County NJ counseling, Westfield NJ therapist services, and Cranford NJ family therapy, offering customized care for clients across neighboring communities.
