Meet Kara

Hi, I’m Kara — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, therapist, sound healer, educator, coach, and consultant. Founder of The Storied Orchid.

I am so glad you are here. My mission is to meet each person exactly where they are, offering support and empowerment to help them live their most authentic, conscious, and fulfilling life. Whether I’m working one-on-one, leading groups, or helping teams thrive, I bring a deeply human-centered, attuned, and collaborative approach to everything I do.

At the core of my work is a belief that we are all, first and foremost, human — complex, multifaceted beings who deserve to be met with compassion and curiosity. My approach to therapy reflects that belief, integrating evidence based modalities while honoring space for intuition, spirituality, and authentic human relationship. I draw from a variety of modalities and mentors, including somatic and mind-body integration, sound healing, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, compassionate inquiry for self and others, narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the work of vulnerability and authenticity.

Rooted in a trauma-informed framework, I tailor each session to support your unique story, strengths, and needs — integrating practices that promote healing, nervous system regulation and integration, self-awareness, and ultimately conscious and meaningful change.

I view the therapeutic process as a partnership: you are the expert in your own life. My role is to help calm the swirl, quiet the noise, and create space for you to reconnect with your inner resources, gain clarity, and move forward in alignment with your values.

Some areas I specialize in include:

  • Sexual and reproductive health
  • Women’s health and pelvic pain
  • Relationship dynamics and couples work
  • Conflict management
  • Infertility and perinatal loss
  • Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
  • Life and career transitions
  • Supporting healthcare clinicians, corporate leaders, and educators
  • Chronic illness, anxiety, and more

My work is grounded in empathy, compassionate inquiry, collaboration, and the deep belief that healing and growth happen when we honor the full experience of what it means to be human.
