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. 

As a clinician, I strive to be intelligent and warm, but also direct. I won't hide behind an anonymous exterior. My sessions are frequently punctuated by wit, insight and spontaneity. I try to be as authentic as possible while prioritizing your well-being and enhancing your capacity to change.

I am an anxiety and attachment therapist who creates a safe space to practice intentional vulnerability. I listen and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings throughout the session, but don’t get me wrong - I am not a “sit and nod” therapist. I utilize an active and directive approach to help identify and name patterns, behaviors, or thoughts that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Treatment may also include exploration of your attachment style by discussing issues in childhood, and how they impact the way that you show up in the world today. Did you grow up with a parent that was emotionally unavailable or dismissive? Was it intentional or unintentional? These are topics that we may explore so you can see how the past is influencing your present. My job is to help you identify what triggers your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and how to soothe them. I help you see the intention behind your trauma responses, and remind you that your body is always trying to keep you safe. My focus and passions include inner child healing, reparenting yourself as an adult, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation. If you are interested in a holistic and collaborative approach to your healing, email me today for a free 15-minute consultation. You could also peep my website and see if I may be a good fit: www.evolutiontohealing.com.

Hi and thanks for taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. My approach to therapy is very relational and experiential. I believe that healing and transformation can happen only in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. I hope I can make it as easy as possible for you and look forward to talking further to see if we're a good therapy match. I have been in practice for over 25 years and work primarily with adults (ages 18+) struggling with a variety of life issues. Relationships, career, divorce, stress management, family issues and general challenges with life transitions are some of the things that bring my clients into therapy. I work individually, as well as with couples and groups.
