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 sees you, and to have a witness to your experiences in life.

I’m an LA native and live on the Eastside of the city, and have also spent time living on the coast in the Bay Area. 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

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.
