Tara keeps conversations clear and focused so busy people can use what they learn right away.
Her sessions center on practical tools and honest conversation. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and stay motivated.
Background and approach

In work with anger or intense emotions, she helps clients identify triggers, build coping strategies, and practice communication that reduces conflict. For those navigating life transitions, sessions focus on clarifying values and small steps toward goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. It can ease anxiety, reduce reactivity, and give simple practices that fit into a busy day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that fuel anger or depression. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often used when people want help building new habits.Choosing the best approach is a team process. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into real life. Video calls allow full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps with brief reflections or homework. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter touches between sessions, and different ways to practice skills outside meetings.
