Hi there, I'm Dara!

I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your challenges and discover your inner strengths. I work with children and families using a client-centered approach that addresses individual needs and fosters growth.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and people with disabilities. I specialize in supporting the LGBTQI+ population, adoption, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, sexual abuse and trauma, gender dysphoria, infertility and surrogacy, stress management, and intergenerational trauma.

My approach

I believe therapy approaches need to match your needs and should be evidence-based. I use Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support your healing and growth.
