Safety
We believe healing grows where you feel safe, seen, respected, and never treated as a problem that needs fixing.
Depth
Our work goes beneath quick tips, weaving IFS, EMDR, somatic tools, and expressive arts into thoughtful, individualized care.
Affirming
We hold LGBTQIA-affirming, trauma-informed space where every part of you is welcome, honored, and invited into gentle connection.
A Therapist Who Gets It
Over many years in the mental health field, Tara has sat on both sides of the therapy room. We know how vulnerable it feels to reach out, and we also know how life-giving it can be to finally feel understood, not judged, by someone who truly listens and cares.
Guided by Inner Knowing
Tara's work is shaped by her own process of learning to access a deep, calm inner knowing rather than staying stuck in self-doubt. In our sessions, we invite that same wise place in you to lead. Using IFS, EMDR, somatic tools, and expressive arts, we support healing that feels grounded and sustainable over time.
Training With a Human Heart
With over two decades in mental health, advanced training in IFS Level 1, EMDR, expressive arts, sandtray, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and Theraplay, Tara brings strong clinical skills wrapped in real humanity. We stay curious about you as a whole person and invite you to move at a pace that feels genuinely safe.
