About Tara
With 24 years of experience, Tara works in a warm, nonjudgmental way. She listens closely and uses clear strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered principles. Conversations are practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on identifying strengths and small steps people can use right away.
Tara adapts her work to each person’s needs. She draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe difficult stories and set concrete goals. For trauma and abuse concerns she incorporates trauma-focused methods alongside other approaches to pace work according to each person’s tolerance.
People can expect a mix of active coaching and reflective listening. Tara uses humor and genuine interaction when appropriate. She encourages frank feedback about fit and will help connect people to other resources if another style is a better match.
Her practice includes support for self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, career stress, coping with loss, and mood or panic symptoms. The overall aim is to help people build on their existing skills and find practical ways to improve daily life.

Working with different approaches online
Tara uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, listening-first environment. This style emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and building on what already works for them. It’s helpful for people who want a therapist who listens and reflects back what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT offers clear tools for managing anxiety, anger, panic, and mood difficulties through focused skill-building and homework between visits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will discuss goals, try methods collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist make decisions together about pacing and which strategies to emphasize.
