About

Hi, I'm Kara Allen (she/her),

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified counselor passionate about supporting individuals and couples through the emotional terrain of fertility, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I honor how identity, context, and lived experience shape our connections, while also paying attention to the ways our nervous system and body responses influence how safe, connected, or overwhelmed we feel.​

​

My work centers on fostering authentic communication, repairing ruptures, and strengthening resilience—especially during tender or uncertain seasons. Together, we’ll explore both the emotional and physiological patterns that shape your experience, building tools for regulation, deeper connection, and a greater sense of safety. Whether you’re facing fertility challenges, adjusting to life as new parents, or feeling distance in your relationship, I offer a collaborative space where your emotions are welcomed and your story is held with care.​​
