I am Tara, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a solid academic foundation in Communication and Social Work. I've worked with all types of people from across the globe. My therapeutic ethos revolves around empowering individuals through life's transitions, fostering growth, and igniting personal revolutions through psychotherapy. It is incredibly important to me that each person I meet walks away feeling heard and that they are one step closer to their life goal.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Picture your first session with me like stepping into a cozy café with a friend you haven't seen in ages. Expect warm greetings, maybe even a quirky joke or two to break the ice. We'll dive into what brings you here, unpacking your hopes, dreams, and maybe even your favorite Netflix binge. Together, we'll navigate the maze of therapy with laughter and understanding, setting the stage for some serious (and not-so-serious) breakthroughs ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider encompass empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I actively engage with clients, nurturing a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in trust and respect. Drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, I tailor interventions to individual needs, fostering growth and resilience. I champion innovation and fresh perspectives, empowering clients to embrace change and cultivate happiness.
