As a therapist, I pride myself on being a well-rounded individual with a warm and welcoming personality. My journey into the world of mental health began with a deep-seated passion for helping others, which led me to train as both an addiction counselor and an EMDR therapist. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable and supported. My diverse background allows me to connect with individuals from all walks of life, fostering an atmosphere of trust and openness.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, my goal is for clients to leave with a clear understanding of their treatment game plan while feeling truly heard. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to establish a solid foundation for our work together, where we can collaboratively identify goals and explore the best ways to achieve them. I believe that feeling understood is crucial for effective therapy, and I make it a priority to listen actively and empathetically.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, my strengths lie in my comprehensive training in various therapeutic modalities, my use of humor to alleviate tension, and my ability to balance directness with kindness. I believe that therapy should be both a safe space for vulnerability and a place for growth and progress. My aim is to empower clients by providing them with the tools they need to overcome challenges while fostering a supportive and nurturing environment. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and enhancing your overall well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with couples, adults, teenagers, and children aged six and older, addressing a wide range of mental health issues. My approach is tailored to each client's unique experiences and needs, ensuring that everyone feels seen and heard. I understand that the journey toward healing can be challenging, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate their personal struggles.

Tara really listens and strives to understand. She asks great clarifying questions to help understand better and shows that she is engaged and listening. Treatment plan is a team approach and fully agreed upon by both of us before proceeding. She also was very helpful in finding and providing additional resources local to me, as we are a few hours away from each other.
