Welcome!

I'm Tara (she/her). If you've landed here you have taken a courageous step to seek out the support you deserve. I know from personal experience how meaningful and transformative it can be to work with a therapist who really gets you, and to have a witness to your experiences in life.

I’m an LA native and live on the Eastside of the city with my spouse and our three rescue animals. I'm a lover of learning, nature, animals, and creative expression. I also believe strongly in the importance of having deep connection with others and being in community. I find the humor in life and try to live mindfully, appreciating the present moment. I always look for opportunities to broaden my knowledge and feel grateful to work in a field that is ever-evolving.

I can support you with:

  • Anxiety, Stress & Burnout

  • Depression

  • Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

  • Intrusive Thoughts & Suicidal Ideation

  • Trauma & PTSD

  • High Achiever Stress & Perfectionism

  • People Pleasing, Self-Doubt & Imposter Syndrome

  • Developing Self-Esteem & Self-Worth

  • Exploring Gender & Sexuality

  • LGBTQIA+ specific concerns

  • Challenges During Adolescence

  • Family Conflict

  • Improving Interpersonal Relationships

  • Life Changes & Transitions

  • Coping with Grief & Loss

  • Existential Questions

IT’S EASY TO GET STARTED

1

Reach out to me to schedule a 20 minute complimentary phone or Zoom consultation. I offer this knowing how essential it is to feel connected to your therapist. I’ll learn more about you and your goals for therapy, describe how I work, and answer any questions you have.

2

Schedule a virtual or in person session. This first appointment will provide us with the opportunity to further explore if we’re a good fit. Prior to the appointment, you’ll be sent a link to login to my client portal, where you’ll review and complete my intake forms electronically.

3

During our initial session we’ll focus both on what you’re experiencing in the present and I’ll also gain a better understanding of your history. We’ll discuss what you hope to achieve from therapy. I’ll share initial insights and we’ll collaboratively come up with a plan for working together.
