Hello! I’m Tara. My goal as a therapist is to create a relaxed, supportive, and
nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to be yourself. I value your needs and
goals and work collaboratively with you to build on your strengths and overcome
obstacles. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel empowered to make the changes you
desire in your life.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Governors State
University and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies. My background allows
me to blend clinical expertise with strong interpersonal communication, creating a
therapeutic experience that is both effective and engaging.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are navigating a wide range of
challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, trauma, self-
esteem issues, relationship difficulties, time management, adjustment concerns, and
major life transitions.

I’m known for being outgoing, empathetic, and positive, and I strive to bring warmth and
understanding to each session. Whether you’re going through a difficult time or looking
to grow personally, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I offer in person
therapy or telehealth sessions.

Specialties: Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, women’s issues, life transitions &
adjustment, grief & loss, trauma, childhood & development, relationships, art therapy,
play therapy, mindfulness, spirituality.
