I offer a warm and empathetic approach for you to feel welcomed and heard. People share that it is easy to open up to me. I specialize in trauma and grief, helping children, adolescents, and adults. People's lives can be changed unexpectantly after trauma and life's circumstances. And this is a unique experience for everyone. I assist in shifting people's outlooks, whether rooted in the past or recent. I use psychologically evidence-based modalities as I walk alongside you, helping you find your internal resources to restore health.
I am honoured and privileged to share the more intimate details of your life. Being healthy means nurturing our spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and environmental well-being. People appreciate my honesty and genuineness, and it is important to me that I act with integrity. We all have a purpose, and I hope to assist in finding yours!
I look forward to connecting with you.

I have a natural ability to connect with children and adolescents. This has been my passion since graduating from the University of Toronto with a Specialist in Psychology in 2002. I love hearing others' stories of where they have been and where they want to be. If you can dream it, you can do it!

I love connecting one-on-one and cultivating therapeutic relationships. I offer hope and a safe, inclusive, confidential space. We explore identity and core belief themes. We collaboratively develop goals for therapy to alleviate negative mental health symptoms. I discuss what therapeutic modality/intervention would be best to treat the presenting issue you are reaching out for help for.

What stands out most to me about Tara is how much she values the relationship at the heart of therapy. She creates a space where people feel comfortable, understood, and supported as they work toward the changes that matter most to them.
