Hey there—I’m Tara! We all carry stories—some visible, some quietly tucked away. Life can throw sudden changes, invisible struggles, or seasons of overwhelm. It gets messy. It gets exhausting. I know what it takes to keep going when no one can see all that you’re carrying. Healing isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about understanding your story, finding tools that actually work, and creating balance that feels right for you. I have experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life’s curveballs. I work with couples and individuals from all backgrounds and identities, including military spouses and veterans, offering a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported! Outside the office, you can find me planning my next tattoo, singing way too loudly, or laughing at funny cat videos! I believe therapy doesn’t have to be all serious faces and stiff chairs—openness, curiosity, and even a little humor can go a long way in the healing process! If you’re looking for a nonjudgmental, safe space to process whatever’s on your mind—without the stuffy-office vibes—you’re in the right place! This is your space to let go and breathe easier. To go at your own pace. To be accepted exactly as you are. Therapy with me is about pressing pause, tuning into what’s really going on beneath the surface, and giving yourself some room to breathe. Please contact me if: -You feel like you’re in overdrive or juggling a million tabs -You need a space where you can show up as your full self, especially if you’ve felt unseen or misunderstood -You’re burned out or feeling numb, like you’ve lost your spark -You’re grieving a loss or navigating a major life change -Your relationship is under stress, and you want support to reconnect or heal -You’ve been lugging around emotions like a backpack full of bricks and are overdue for setting it down -You’re a military spouse trying to find balance and support through transitions or isolation

I have been practicing as a Physician Assistant since graduating from Lock Haven University with my Master’s degree in Health Sciences in 2015. I am currently board-certified and state-licensed. I grew up in a rural northern Pennsylvania town and now reside in coastal North Carolina with my husband, two children, and two furry pets. I enjoy camping, kayaking, and spending time with my family at the pool. In my professional career, I have evolved as a provider and taken on diverse roles. I look forward to continuing to learn and am committed to providing the best treatment options for my patients.

I help hurting, struggling, and disconnected couples heal and find each other again. Couples that want to work with me include those stuck in patterns of destructive reactivity, couples in crisis hoping to save their relationship, disconnected couples lacking intimacy, couples struggling with past betrayals and violations, and couples struggling to align on core relationship expectations. As a long-time, partnered parent who has experienced the challenges of raising little ones and launching college-bound teens, I also offer support to parents and children struggling to connect. My individual clients want to address family of origin grief and attachment injuries, anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, abuse recovery, and post-divorce transitions. I understand and see all client distress through an attachment lens; there are deep, underlying attachment longings and fears driving painful and destructive patterns of behavior. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy as a framework, along with somatic interventions and IFS-informed parts work to organize complex, layered emotions, I help foster corrective experiences for my clients to create secure attachment and heal how they relate to themselves and to those they love. If my focus and approach resonate with you, please reach out.

I am an advent believer of approaching life with a strong sense of humor and a warm cup of tea! In my role as a life coach, I am most dedicated to trusting the process. Life shouldn’t feel so tough. When challenges arise, my goal is to empower my clients to live more meaningful, present-focused, and value-driven lives. I achieve this by tailoring sessions to meet the individual needs of my clients with the help of evidenced based practices including  person- centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused. I have experience working with individuals who live with anxiety, and past trauma, and enjoy helping my clients maneuver through the struggles of everyday life. I have worked with people from various backgrounds, with majority of my experience in community mental health working with at-risk youth. My clients are welcome as they are, whoever they are. I approach therapy with a collaborative and non-judgmental view in which clients can be their most honest, transparent and authentic selves. I will walk and support my clients in their journey to healing, growth, and obtaining their highest quality of life.
