About Tara
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Tara aims to build confidence, boost motivation, and help people cope with life changes one step at a time.
Over a decade of practice has given her experience with parenting challenges, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and family concerns. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and end-of-life decisions. Veterans and those navigating women’s issues and self-love are included among her focus areas.
Tara draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy during sessions. That mix lets her work on immediate problems while also addressing patterns that keep difficulties repeating. The aim is to find small, workable steps that fit into everyday life.
People who reach out can expect a compassionate, practical approach. Tara encourages honest conversation and collaborative planning so goals feel realistic and achievable.

How Tara’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities, giving space for people to set their own goals and explore what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and building on what already works in someone’s life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and collaborative.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework between meetings to keep momentum going.
