Hello and welcome. My name is Tara and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Arizona. Counseling any person, no matter where they have come from, or what challenges they are struggling with, is my passion. I enjoy helping people achieve what they desire in this life. Whether it is to have a better marriage, learn how to deal with depression, less anxiety with every new situation that arises, or parenting struggles, I can help. I love helping people to be the very best versions of themselves and giving them the tools to help with varying hurdles in life. Life can be so tough, and seeking counseling is a very brave first step and I am so grateful you came here. We all go through hills and valleys in life, but it's so much better to go through those valleys when you have the right tools in which to deal with the tough times. Life is a gift. Counseling is a gift and I hope to be able to help you with your journey. A little about me. I grew up a military kid and was able to travel the world with my family, which came with some wonderful experiences and also some challenges of having to adjust quickly to different settings. Along the way I met a lot of great people and had the opportunity to learn family dynamics, and cultures from a very young age. I am grateful to have had to change and move throughout my childhood so that I could end up in this field where I can truly help so many different kinds of people, no matter their background, or what struggles they are going through. I received my bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University. I then went on to receive my Masters degree from Argosy University in Phoenix, Arizona. My counseling approach is mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused brief therapy. I believe we all have the ability to get where we want to go, but sometimes we need a little help along the way.

You know that meme of that dog sitting in a burning room with the caption, "This is fine"? Sometimes it can feel as if everything is falling apart and we're trying our best to cope with the stressful events. Therapy is a tool to improve your mental, emotional, and psychological stability to manage through stressful situations. Therapy should be collaborative and progressive. It should feel as if you're making progress towards improving yourself and finding your strength, or whatever goals you have set for yourself. My experience has been providing therapy to multiple different populations in a variety of settings. In terms of my style of counseling, I like to meet each person and see what would work best for them. I like to connect our thinking patterns to our emotions & behavior. CBT/T-CBT is my main modality, while also borrowing from DBT, ACT, and CPT. Finding a therapist is like dating - you need to find the person who makes you feel safe and able to build trust and allow for vulnerability - someone you can open up to. Please feel free to schedule a session, or you can message me if you have any questions, and I'd love to help you get started on your therapy journey. Currently open for appointments Thursday-Saturday. *If there's an opening where you'd rather have the session start half past the hour, I'd be happy to adjust my schedule for you. By September, I will be open Sunday-Friday.
