About Tara
Her approach is straightforward. She listens first to understand what brought each person in. Then she helps set clear, manageable goals and finds small steps to try between sessions. Many clients come for help with sleep, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career doubts, or ADHD-related challenges.
Tara uses several therapy methods to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow a person's pace, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused and narrative ideas to find strengths and new meanings. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change.
She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, narcissism-related concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues. Tara helps parents facing caregiver stress, people navigating divorce or separation, and those dealing with loneliness or life-purpose questions.
Her style is warm and direct. She aims to help people make concrete shifts that fit real life. To start, she asks about current struggles, personal goals, and what has or hasn't helped before.

How Tara’s approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. It puts the person's needs and priorities first and helps build trust so change can happen. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to try between sessions. Solution-focused work looks for strengths and small, achievable steps that move someone toward their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Then she will suggest methods to try and adjust them based on how they fit your life and what you want to achieve. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular work on thoughts and behaviors between appointments, using the same CBT or solution-focused techniques that are used in person.
