Are you feeling stressed, defeated, or overwhelmed? Sometimes, we find ourselves feeling “stuck” and unable to move forward—or in any direction. Feeling as if you’re going nowhere, despite energy output, can be discouraging and defeating. Trust me, I understand. Everyone encounters challenging times in their lives. I think we can all agree that you never know what life will throw at you. The journey to healing can be lonely; but I am here to walk with you every step of the way. I can assure you that I will provide a safe place for you to express yourself, free from judgement. My therapeutic approach utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered and solution focused therapy to appropriately tailor to individuals needs and goals. I believe in helping individuals gain awareness and insight, encourage action, foster healing, cultivate change in their lives, and supporting them as they work toward their desired outcomes.

One of the best people I’ve ever worked with. Always listened to everything I had to say and was supportive through it all. Made a huge impact on me in a great way and I am glad she was with me on my journey.

This isn't my first rodeo with therapy and starting over with someone knew can be scary and intimidating. From day one with Tara I have felt supported by her and found her to be trustworthy, direct, and prepared. I'm looking forward to continuing my therapy journey with Tara!
