About Tara
Tara works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and transitions such as aging or changes in health. She has particular experience supporting women, those managing chronic illness or pain, and people negotiating complex relationship dynamics, including non-monogamous arrangements. Her practice also addresses ADHD, codependency, family of origin concerns, commitment issues, and difficulties that arise for first responders.
Her approach emphasizes personalized, evidence-based techniques that help clients identify goals, build adaptive skills, and move through obstacles at their own pace. Tara offers focused support for issues like hoarding, infidelity, smoking or vaping cessation, and discovering life purpose, while attending to the practical and emotional impacts of chronic conditions and caregiving. She aims to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop meaningful insights, and cultivate sustainable change.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Tara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend practical skill-building with emotional exploration. One strand of her work focuses on skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce day-to-day anxiety and improve decision making. Another strand emphasizes emotion-focused work and self-compassion practices that help clients process difficult feelings and build inner resilience. She also integrates behavior-focused strategies to increase daily functioning and establish routines that support mental and physical well-being.
Tara approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She partners with each client to assess needs, clarify goals, and determine which techniques feel most helpful, adjusting the plan over time to match preferences and progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home or work, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions. For many clients, remote sessions provide a convenient path to consistent, professional therapy with a licensed professional.
