Hi there, I'm Tara!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and Doctor of Social Work with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals navigating stress, trauma, and life transitions. As the CEO of Renewing Minds, Restoring Hope, she specializes in helping Black women prioritize their mental health, heal from anxiety and depression, and reclaim balance.

My focus

You’ve carried the weight for so long, holding it down, showing up for everyone else. But who holds space for you? I specialize in helping Black women and women of color unlearn the idea that constant strength is the only option. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, or just feel like you’ve lost with yourself, you are not alone.

My approach

Therapy is a sacred space for you to exhale, reflect, and heal. I integrate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR with culturally responsive, faith-affirming care. Whether you’re looking to process past trauma, set boundaries, explore identity, or step into your softness, I’m here to support.
