About Tara

Background and approach

She helps clients navigate life transitions and build practical coping strategies, drawing on an array of evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. Her style emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly.

Tara blends skills training and values-based work to help people reduce distressing patterns, improve communication, and strengthen self-compassion. Her approach aims to empower clients to take manageable steps toward change while honoring each person’s pace and goals.

Working from a client-centered stance, she supports individuals in identifying meaningful priorities and developing tools for long-term resilience. With familiarity in dialectical skills and motivational strategies, she adapts interventions to match what clients need in the moment and over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it offers practical exercises and skills that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that move them toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for coping with life changes and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara works together with each individual to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and allowing continuity of care from home or work. These options support regular practice of skills and timely check-ins, while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most accessible for their needs.
