Tara values collaboration, understanding, and connection as the foundation of her therapeutic work. She focuses on creating a compassionate and collaborative space where clients are supported to build awareness, insight, and skills to overcome their current challenges. Her approach invites curiosity, acceptance, and motivation for living a value-congruent life.
Tara enjoys supporting clients with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, complex trauma, adjustment difficulties, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and self-esteem challenges. Through her work in hospital- and community- based settings, she has developed a strong interest in the intersection of physical and mental health.

She will work with you to decide whether the treatment plan should commit to one particular treatment modality or use a more integrative approach.
