What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to therapy is grounded in a client-centered philosophy, where your unique experiences, values, and goals guide the work we do together. I offer a flexible and collaborative process, integrating talk therapy with evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and I strive to tailor our work to best support your individual needs. My role is to help you explore your thoughts and emotions, acknowledge and validate your experiences, and support you in making choices that feel authentic and cohesive to who you are.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process with clients begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and authenticity. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. As our work progresses, I focus on helping clients identify and build upon their existing strengths while exploring areas for growth. Together, we work toward increased self-awareness and insight, always keeping in mind each client’s unique identity, values, and goals. I aim to support clients in navigating life’s challenges in a way that feels aligned with who they are, fostering resilience, empowerment, and meaningful personal growth.

I have been seeing Tara for a little over 2 years now and it has been nothing short of great. She really listens and connects patterns and behaviors that I wouldn’t recognize. I have come a long way with her and continue to reach goals with her. Highly recommend!

I had a very positive and therapeutic experience during my session. Tara created a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment that allowed me to openly express my thoughts and emotions. I felt heard, validated, and respected throughout the session, which made it easier to engage in meaningful self-reflection.
Tara utilized effective techniques that helped me gain insight into my experiences and develop a better understanding of my feelings and behaviors. I left the session feeling more grounded, supported, and equipped with helpful strategies to continue working toward my goals.
Overall, it was a highly beneficial experience, and I look forward to continuing the therapeutic process.
