Meet Kara
Kara is the founder of KMG Therapies and our primary Occupational Therapist (OTR/L), bringing a strong clinical background and a passion for holistic, client-centered care. She is currently licensed in both Maryland and Pennsylvania as she continues to expand access to services across the region.
