About Tara
Her approach emphasizes respect and compassion, meeting clients where they are and trusting in each person's capacity for growth. As an LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she integrates practical, goal-oriented methods to address communication problems, blended family dynamics, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Tara also assists clients dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, domestic violence recovery, and common concerns such as money and career stress.
Clients can expect a collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and realistic hope for change. Tara aims to provide clear options and steady support as people take courageous steps toward healthier relationships and improved coping skills.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences. It offers strategies for managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and for restoring a sense of safety and control in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes immediate goals and small, actionable steps toward change. It can be especially helpful for clients seeking clear strategies to improve relationships, parenting, or specific life challenges.
Finding the most effective approach is a collaborative process. Tara works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the client's situation and pace.
Online sessions through video calls, phone work, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from locations where in-person options may be limited, all while working with licensed professionals trained in these methods.
