Empowering

Welcome! Whatever has prompted you to search for a therapist, I am honored to be by your side during this journey. We, as humans, are meant to be connected. I believe we live in a detached society that hinders us from connecting to others and ourselves. I am here to help you in finding your way back to your authentic self. In my practice, I hold a safe space for you to process your unique story. Having experienced my own challenges and pain, and sitting with others in theirs, I come from a place of empathy and unconditional positive regard. Together, we will develop new tools and skills to help you find healing and empowerment. I can't wait to meet you and begin this challenging, but well worthwhile journey! "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" - Jiddu Krishnamurti, Philosopher

I was hesitant to start seeing a therapist, but as soon as I met Tara I knew this was the right thing to do. She makes me feel comfortable in every session, no fear of judgement or embarrassment, and it feels like I’m talking to a friend I’ve known my whole life. She has helped me work through a lot of personal issues and fears, and supported me through big changes and successes. Because of her guidance, I have even encouraged family and friends to start their “therapy journeys” as well!

Tara is an engaging positive therapist who easily builds rapport with her clients. I have found her to be very openminded to alternative lifestyles, LGBTQIA topics, sexual exploration and other unique situations. Her questions about sensitive topics feel genuinely honest and curious without judgement. As a mom, I also feel Tara is very supportive and understanding of the challenges of long distance parenting.
