“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”
Mary Oliver
Skills-based and Somatic Psychotherapy for Adults, Couples, and Therapists
Meet Tara
LMFT, SEP, CADC-II
Some people come to therapy looking for a way out of their suffering.
I am not sure I can offer that.
What I can tell you is this: no one is coming to rescue you. Not the right modality. Not the perfect therapist. Not the breakthrough that finally fixes it.
What I can offer is something I have found more useful than rescue: a way to live inside it. To build a life that holds the weight of who you are and still moves toward what matters.
If you have tried everything and still feel broken, you might be in the right place.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who have suffered for a long time. People who are functional on the outside and feel numb on the inside. People who have done the work, read the books, tried the modalities, and are still carrying something they cannot seem to put down.
I also work with therapists. The ones who got into this field from their own wound, who give beautifully and receive poorly, who are burning out and calling it dedication.
If you recognize yourself in either of those descriptions, keep reading.
What I Believe
Peak experiences will not save you if you have no ground underneath them. I know because I have tried.
Real change is unglamorous. It is chop wood, carry water. Emotional sobriety. One foot, then the other. Finding what brings you alive and returning to it, over and over, not because you arrive somewhere but because practice itself is the life.
I am not going to sell you a version of yourself you have never been. I am going to help you build something sustainable inside the version you already are.

Yes, telehealth is a convenient and effective platform for therapy. I have limited in-office availability, so we will start with video sessions if the office schedule is full. We can move appointments to the office when there is an opening.
-
If you need more support, we will create a plan, which might include scheduling additional sessions, coaching calls, and/or finding other ways for you to get support which could include working with a different therapist who can better meet your needs. I am not set up for clients with chronic crisis needs.

I work with adults, couples, and therapists . I am generally a good fit for people who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, problems with relationships, and issues related to trauma and abuse. Those open to a holistic therapeutic approach, incorporating mind, body, and spirit, will benefit most from our time together.
Therapy for Therapists: Therapy for therapists, coaches, and other professionals who provide healing services goes a long way toward improving the quality of care you provide for your clients. To be a steward of your profession you must develop advanced skills in self-reflection and self-monitoring. In therapy, you can learn to examine your blind spots, learn to accept feedback, and use your perceptions and reactions as powerful instruments for helping others in their healing journey.
-
All sessions must be canceled at least 48 hours in advance, or you will be charged the full fee.
-
My business hours are Monday - Thursday 9:00 am - 7:00 pm. Whether you are a new or existing client, calls and emails will be returned in 1-2 business days. All calls Friday - Sunday will be returned the following Monday.
-
During the first appointment, I will gather some history and discuss your presenting concerns. We will use this information to assess if we are a good fit. During follow-up appointments, I will use a variety of Body-Centered and/or Skills-Based Approaches to help you meet your therapy goals.
Sessions are 50 minutes. We will meet once to twice a week.

Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
