About
Tara
I am Tara, a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who recognizes each of us as individuals and human. Anxiety, depression, grief, or just life is different for everyone. I am here to listen to your struggles and assist you in finding your peace. I work eclectically, depending on the client, offering validation, compassion, and a lifetime of experience. Our world is quite stressful these days and can feel overwhelming. Discussing change, exploring different variables, and making difficult decisions are frightening. I enjoy working with my clients and guiding them to their own solutions through their own healing process, while adapting healthy behavioral changes and emotional growth.
To keep myself grounded, I embrace the outdoors as much as possible. I’m an avid kayaker, horseback rider, and gardener. I also appreciate a cozy night in with a great book or a movie. On a daily basis, I keep my cup full by leaning into music, laughter, and my spiritual practice.
