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

Every relationship—whether monogamous, polyamorous, open, or somewhere in between—comes with moments of connection and moments of struggle. Maybe small disagreements keep turning into big arguments, maybe you feel unseen or misunderstood, or maybe the spark has faded and you’re wondering how to get it back. Trust breaks, communication ruts, and life transitions can make even strong bonds feel shaky. In our work together, I’ll help you and your partner(s) step out of painful patterns and reconnect in ways that feel genuine and lasting. I draw from Gottman’s Sound Relationship House to identify areas for repair and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to bring awareness to unmet needs and deepen connection. My approach is collaborative and affirming—there’s no judgment, no assumptions, and no need to educate me about your relationship structure. The goal isn’t perfection, but creating a stronger foundation of trust, emotional safety, and deeper connection so your relationships can truly thrive!
