Tara helped me this summer as I dealt with issues around anxiety around the future, family concerns, identity and self-confidence. I am in a much better place now thankfully and forever grateful for Tara's presence in my time of need. Tara listened actively, remembered nuances of several differing situations from session to session and was highly empathetic. Highly recommended.

Tara is absolutely wonderful to work with! It’s like chatting with a very wise friend. She is always very genuine - she celebrates your successes and understands your failures, and helps you learn from them.
