Hi! I’m Tara. That’s ‘TAR-uh’, not ‘terra’.

How can you tell from reading this whether you’ll like me as your therapist? I believe the best way to “try on” a therapist is to have a session or two and see how it feels. Reading a website is a good start!

I take a warm, positive stance and honor my clients - after all, it takes courage to do something outside your comfort zone in an effort to make things better.

What kinds of clients do I work with? I see folks to support relationship issues like infidelity, dissatisfaction with physical relationship, communication problems/conflict management, or ambiguity about whether to stay together or end their relationship. I also see folks individually who are facing any number challenges: feeling unsatisfied with relationships, career challenges, feeling generally adrift or lost in life, grieving a loss, or simply wanting to understand themselves on a deeper level and develop their sense of identity.

If you want to know more about my clinical approach, my favorite models/theories of therapy are Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). You can also read more on my PsychologyToday profile.

I hope to hear from you!
