I am both a country and city girl. I enjoy outdoors and being around people. I enjoy all ages from 16-99. I like to humbly say I am experienced in multiple therapies and have worked in all areas of Behavioral Health from inpatient to outpatient over 20 years of experience. I am open, supportive, and honest. Sessions start with you and where you are at. We talk about your concerns and what you would like to achieve. We both then identify how to support you. I view each person as unique and have their own individual concerns/struggles.

Originally from Haiti, I migrated to the U.S. at age 9 and grew up in Queens, NY. Fluent in Haitian Creole and French, I deeply understands the impact of childhood trauma, xenophobia, and adjustment difficulties on mental health. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a bachelor's in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College. I was trained at an Intensive Outpatient facility, working with dual-diagnosis clients. My approach fosters a supportive, non-judgmental environment for self-exploration, healing, and Self-leadership. Passionate about animals, I volunteered at the Humane Society Wildlife in Miami. In my free time, I enjoy being with family and my 6-year-old pocket bully.

Hi, I’m Tara. I’m a professional counselor with 19 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. I became a therapist because I’ve always had a heart for helping people feel seen, heard, understood, and supported—especially during seasons when life feels overwhelming, relationships feel difficult, or you simply aren’t sure what comes next. My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can show up as you are without fear of judgment. You don’t need to have the perfect words or know exactly where to begin. We’ll start where you are and figure out the next steps together. I work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, and communication struggles. I use an individualized approach that may incorporate CBT, DBT, EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist, and working with children and families is an important part of my practice. I use play and developmentally appropriate approaches to help children express emotions, develop coping skills, and work through experiences in ways that feel natural to them. One phrase that guides much of my work is “Awareness creates choice.” When we begin to understand ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences differently, we create opportunities to make different choices. My goal is for you to leave therapy not only feeling better, but also understanding yourself better and feeling more confident navigating whatever comes next.

I work with high-functioning adults who look capable on the outside but are running on chronic survival mode underneath. Clients often reach out when hyper-preparation and control hit a wall; waking with 2 AM panic spirals, treating every uncertainty like an emergency, or crashing into shame and burnout. Using evidence-based trauma therapy and somatic grounding, we help you quiet the harsh inner critic, process deep-seated wounds, and retrain an overactive threat system. Together, we move you out of constant fight-or-flight so you can finally inhabit an ordinary, safe life without needing a crisis to survive.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
