Hi. My name is Tara and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. My degree is in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family therapy. I have been supporting people of all ages for almost 20 years. I have worked with adults , teens, families and couples. My areas of strength when working with people include helping them improve their quality of life by managing: depression, loss, anxiety, panic attacks, family issues, stages of life transitions and challenges such as parenting support and career counseling, trauma, and life stressors.
My belief is that it is my role to support you with the struggles and challenges that you have identified. I believe everyone has the strength and skills to make the changes in their life that they want and its my job to help you recognize and use those strengths.
I am very down to earth and provide a safe, non judge mental, empathic environment. My techniques include strategies from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Rogerian and Family Systems theories. My approach is individualized based on your needs.
I am a good listener and use humor and genuine interactions in my practice.
It can be a big step to initiate therapy. I believe it is like buying shoes in a way , its has to be a good fit. I would like the opportunity to help you reach the goals you have for therapy. However, if you decide my style is not a fit for you, I encourage you to let me know and I will do my best to help you find support that works. This process is about making sure you have what you need so I encourage open, honest communication. ( you wouldn’t walk around in shoes that don’t fit, right?)
I look forward to working with you.
Tara

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tara is amazing and really concerned about helping you
Tara listens to what I need and then makes sure that is what she does in our sessions. I can count on Tara to listen to what I am saying and walk me through ways to manage it.
Tara and I have been working together for two years and I am doing the best I have done mentally in years. She is supportive, available, believes in me, but most of all has helped me find tools to believe in myself. When I don’t see the good in me she points out all the evidence that make me reconsider how I think about myself. I’ve never felt judged by her or like she’s disappointed in me. She lets me find my own way while guiding me with coping skills. My favorite is the way she encourages me to find evidence with a given situation which makes me rationally think about my situation. I’m very grateful for her support and services.
Shes awesome
Tara has given me a new perspective on negative self talk and is able to reframe my thoughts and concerns in a way I can easily implement in my daily life.
Can’t say enough good things about Tara and the BetterHelp platform. From my first session I felt so comfortable being open and sharing different aspects of my life. Tara encourages me to be honest, provides thoughtful guidance, frequently checks -in, and has given me strategies I now use daily. Truly can’t thank her enough for everything!
Tara makes me feel heard and understood, she’s genuinely the best therapist i’ve ever had
Tara is awesome. I have had other therapists in the past but not once have I seen so much personal growth as I have seen with Tara. She is understanding, a great listener but also a wonderful mentor and has guided me at times where I had trouble with relationships/interactions.
She's amazing! Very helpful listener & helps me a lot to understand why my brain may think the things it does.
Tara is responsive, professional, understanding and accommodating. All the things that you’d want to find in a therapist. I highly recommend her!
So far, working with Tara has been a weight off my shoulders. She's my 4th therapist (2 outside BetterHelp, 1 BetterHelp therapist before her) and she's the first person I'm feeling is TRULY listening and offering the kind of help that *I* need. I'm so glad to have found her!
she has amazing and has a wonderful way of breaking problems down and helping to manage them. I highly recommend her!
Tara has been extremely helpful. I feel comfortable talking with her which isn't something I would typically say. I feel supported by her in my pursuit to become a happier and healthier person and she also gives me activities/assignments I can complete on my own time to further assist me. I'm glad I was matched with her as my therapist.
I asked Tara for a specific style of support and she has done a brilliant job of providing it. She is able to be kind and constructive while simultaneously keeping me on track.
I’m very pleased with my work with Tara. She is extremely responsive, lacks judgement, and does what she says she will do. I enjoy our early morning talks and look forward to my sessions with her. I appreciate the ideas she gives me to help me in my journey and make things run more smoothly. I have had several therapists but I enjoy working with her the best.
Talking weekly with Tara has greatly improved my mental health. She does a fantastic job at getting to the root of each issue and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
Tara is a wonderful counselor, she combines empathy and insight with a great sense of humor. I really like her style and she always asks questions that make me think about things in a different way. She's helped me tremendously so far!
I love Tara. She is amazing and the best therapist I’ve had after trying multiple people over the years.
She understanding and give good advice in different forms.
Tara was such a great help and really listened when I talked about my issues or prompted me when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about.
Tara has been great at making me feel heard and coming up with ways to help me. I'm really glad I signed up!
Tara is so professional and just really great at what she does. Every message I get from her helps me in different ways.
I just love Tara. This is probably the 5th time I’ve tried therapy and I didn’t get very far. I feel like we’re making such great progress. The flexibility that the app offers is really helpful too. It gives me the ability to work on my mental health while caring full time for kids. Highly recommend!
She is amazing and super thoughtful and a great listener
I have been blessed to have her as my therapist. She is so dedicated and supportive. She has scheduled to talk with me as constantly as she can. She is a good listener.
Tara is great! She listens, helped provide strong guiding questions, and nudges you at the right moments.
She’s the best and seems to intuitively understand how to communicate with a stubborn mule like myself.
Excellent outcome. Highly recommend
Tara has made a huge impact on my mental health, my partner relationship, and my overall confidence as a person. Each week we have tackled different situations that have come up in my life and she’s provided skills, worksheets, and techniques to improve these areas of my life. It’s only been 4 months and I already feel like a different person from working with her. I look forward to each week for Tara’s support and help with each hurdle I face. I am very grateful for Tara and BetterHelp. I strongly recommend her and the services provided.
Before starting, I had reservations about online counseling. Now, a short time later, I wish I had started online counseling sooner. Tara has been great!
In the past few weeks working with Tara she has helped me achieve a good level of peace, and she is always ready to listen and help me work through topics.
Tara is a great listener and either she has a photographic memory or she writes down salient points. She has excellent recall when it comes to salient points and she is both supportive of my needs and challenging when I need to be challenged. I am very comfortable speaking with her and I already feel better from speaking with her in my sessions!
Tara is a really good therapist. She is attentive and offers a lot of her time.
