Hi there, I'm Tara!

Whether you're navigating a tough season or simply looking to better understand yourself, I offer a safe, supportive space where healing and growth are possible.

My focus

I work with adults feeling tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—including healthcare professionals, caregivers, older adults, and those navigating life transitions. Whether you're burned out, managing everything on your plate while neglecting your own needs, or seeking space to breathe and reflect, I'm here to help.

My approach

I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you shift unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness practices to reduce stress and stay grounded, and solution-focused methods to identify strengths and move toward meaningful goals.
