More about Tara
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California with 18 years of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional wellness. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, explore life purpose, and build resilient coping strategies.
I have extensive expertise in addressing challenges related to stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career difficulties, and life changes. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting women's issues, chronic health conditions, and relationship dynamics, including non-traditional relationship structures.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to overcome obstacles such as codependency, family of origin challenges, and commitment concerns. I offer compassionate, personalized support for those experiencing aging-related transitions, first responder stress, and personal growth journeys.
I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop meaningful insights, and cultivate positive change at their own pace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
