Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with an emphasis on recognizing each person’s inherent worth and value. Tara adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s specific circumstances and goals, tailoring techniques to fit what will be most helpful in the moment.

She regularly treats mental health concerns including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and conditions related to short- and long-term trauma, and she has experience supporting clients with co-occurring disorders. Tara integrates evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical, goal-oriented work with clients.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Tara acknowledges that first step with encouragement and support as clients move toward meaningful change.
