Kara Moore

Limited Licensed Master Social Worker

I enjoy working with couples and individuals who may be experiencing problems in their relationships. Relationship and family dynamics offer a significant number of opportunities for tension and conflict, thus leading to a need for an unbiased third party to lead discussions in a healthy and healing manner. I believe that communication is the basis for most problems in any relationship. My ideal clients recognize that they need guidance, are ready to be vulnerable with their partner, and want help to build healthier relationships.

I have experience working in all stages of a relationship: dating, premarital, marriage, and divorce.

Money, trust, and parenting are the biggest topics for couples to disagree on. Our current issues are a reflection of our past traumas, so whether you show up as one part of a relationship or all parties are present, I will work with you to heal those traumas, so that you can better communicate and understand your partner.

As humans, we are always learning how to grow, thus we will never be perfect.. I would like to offer my empathy and respect for anyone searching for a compassionate therapist to help in moving forward with whatever life event you may need to work through. No judgement, I am here to help!

Do you have trouble with interpersonal effectiveness as well as controlling your emotions? Do you find yourself battling with depression and anxiety?

Do you find that your communication skills are indirect, and you are not getting what you want? Are you grieving the loss of a spouse, child or friend? Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward?

Veronica Lujic

Limited Licensed Master Social Worker

Do you feel understood and heard by your partner(s), and do you think you’re communicating effectively with them in return? Are you looking for help to overcome challenges and create a successful, fulfilling relationship? I work with clients both individually and with their partner(s) to find their relationship vision, learn heartfelt communication, and find safety in sharing feelings with one another. I have experience helping clients who are part of any relationship configuration, whether it be monogamous or non-monogamous. Clients who have experienced trauma that impacts their relationships are also welcome to my office.

As part of my work, I help clients individually and together learn to empathize, understand each other’s perspectives, and work with them on recognizing and accepting their differences. I also take a client-centered approach and teach body awareness through mindfulness. Our intuition is an amazing tool, and I can help you listen and trust it again.

Find the inner strength to take that first step in finding help and learning to believe in yourself again. Together, we’ll make a road map to find that individual and relationship vision. That way, you can fully embrace and reach out for the good things you deserve in life.
