For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Human beings are social beings.  There are events in one's life when the person does not know which way to go.  Why not talk to a professional therapist who is ethical, educated, and able to help?  How does a person know until they try?  There is no obligation to stay in therapy if you do not want to.  This professional relationship is volutary.

Hi, am not the typical ALC.  I have over 4 decades of adult life experience including parenting, managing stress, anxiety, and depression, and my specialization is motivational interviewing for adults.  Anything can be accomplished with the appropriate mindset.  Do you ever feel stuck?  I can help you get unstuck by assisting you to make livable changes in your life.

If you’re not sure therapy can help, or your not ready, that’s absolutely okay. There is no pressure to continue to try something that isn’t a good. I welcome clients to contact me and discus these reservations and see if working together may be helpful. If not that is okay, there is still progress in looking at options.

I am eager to work with you to focus on your unique needs, goals, and resources. I have extensive experience working a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity and adjustment concerns. I will work with with you directly to determine the best recommendations and options for you including community resources and referrals if appropriate. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported and you are no exception.

I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I want you to know that therapy is a space for you—without judgment, pressure, or expectation. It’s a place where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, with support and guidance tailored to your needs. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin; therapy is about discovery, healing, and growth. Taking the first step can be the hardest part, but you are not alone in this journey, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

With extensive experience and a compassionate approach, I am committed to supporting adults through their mental health journeys. Holding a Psy.D. from Immaculata University since 2016, my dedication to mental wellness spans back to 2007. I specialize in assisting individuals facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, utilizing evidence-based treatments with a strong emphasis on a person-centered perspective. My goal is to foster a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel truly understood and empowered. *Specialties •Psychologist *Conditions treated •Anxiety •Depression •ADHD •PTSD •Bipolar disorders •Personality disorders •Anger Management •Behavioural Therapy •Mood disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Behavioral Issues •Chronic Illness •Chronic Pain •Codependency •Coping Skills •Dual Diagnosis •Emotional Disturbance •Grief •Life Transitions •Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum •Relationship Issues •Self Esteem •Sexual Abuse •Stress •Women's Issues •Family Issues •Maternal Mental Health •Men's Issues *Treatment philosophy I use a wide range of approaches to therapy including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT.

I wish I could tell you that it’s okay to feel uncertain about therapy, but taking that first step can make a real difference. Therapy isn’t about judgment; it’s about finding support, understanding, and new ways to cope. You don’t have to face your struggles alone—together, we can work toward healing and a better quality of life.

Therapy is uniquely different to the relationships we maintain in our daily lives and I believe that is why it leaves such a lasting impact. In a therapeutic relationship, the focus is on you and only you. There are no opinions or judgment in the room and that is so you, the client, can hopefully feel comfortable enough fully embrace each part of yourself. There are no rights or wrongs or shoulds or shouldn'ts in therapy. There is only a space for you to speak, explore, process, and grow.

Hello! My name is Tara and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern California (USC) and my Bachelors in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I have worked in a college setting, private practice, residential treatment center for teens, and more unconventionally, in matchmaking and dating apps. Working in settings so vastly different from one another has allowed me to work with many people with various diagnoses and backgrounds. While I have experience working with more severe and acute mental health concerns, due to the virtual nature of my practice at this time, my practice is currently mostly seeing people struggling with romantic, familial, or other relationship concerns, anxiety, pandemic support, interpersonal conflict, self esteem, creatives and professionals, students, and more.      For more information, please contact me for a free consultation.
