As a Certified Sex Therapist Supervisor and the Executive Director of the Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, I am passionate about helping my clients improve their sex lives and increase authenticity. I supervise a wonderful group of sex-positive clinicians who share my focus on issues related to sex, sexuality and gender. I love the connections I create with my clients and the bond we create as we work toward change. I know it can be difficult to take the first step, but you will not regret your decision to get help and learn the skills and strategies to overcome what has been holding you back. You can do this.

Currently Only Accepting Individual Clients: Whether you are 20 or 90 years old, single, heterosexual, or in a same-sex partnership, wanting and needing connection is a healthy thing. After all, intimacy is not just about sex. It is about feeling connected to your partner through sensual touch and the simplicities of hugs, kisses, compliments, being and feeling desired, and affirmed. Our work together will be to improve communication and to increase those interactions that help you be seen, whole, and known. With clarity and healing, you will increase your connection, intimacy, and healthier sexual interactions with your partner.

Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

Struggling with sex? Fighting with your partner? Hoping to heal from infidelity? Feeling broken or damaged from trauma? Difficulty with substance recovery? I see individuals and couples who are struggling with sex/intimacy, addiction, or trauma. I might be a good fit for you if: Sex is painful, frustrating or boring. You're tired of having the same argument with your partner. You want to heal from an affair. You're ready for recovery but need help with accountability. Maybe you're exploring parts of your sexual identity for the first time, or want to learn something new. You’re ready to heal from frustration, shame, or hopelessness.

If you are in a relationship with a Narcissist, have experienced major and/or minor trauma, can't find the right relationship, don't know what to do to make your relationships better, or want to find greater success in life or business, then I may be the right person to help you move from coping to thriving. I provide coaching/therapy solutions to navigate the treacherous journey of leaving a Narcissist as well as overcoming adversity and psychological blocks that keep you from attaining your goals. I can help you deal with all of life's normal developmental concerns like work, having children, parenting and growing older.

With over 25 years of experience, I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem with you as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet! I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.

The relationship you have with your counselor is a very personal one and is vital to bringing about the change you want in your life. We view the counseling relationship as a process of mutual respect and trust, where we work collaboratively together to meet your goals. We focus on expanding the strengths and resources you have and getting results quickly, all in a comfortable and inviting home-like setting. We strive to make therapy as comfortable as possible and work with you to establish clear goals and workable, creative strategies to achieve those goals.

Here you are, in the frustrating position of scrolling through therapists online. You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no bullshit approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. I bring body scans, breathing exercises, movement, silence, listening and laughter to every session. Because if we aren't laughing, we're crying.

I specialize in treating relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples and families seeking fulfilling, peaceful lives. The majority of clients are individuals and couples seeking answers to have better, more meaningful relationships. Therapy starts withy understanding current struggles in a "systems" framework. We look at patterns; of affection, conflict, repair, relating, reacting. Common issues include: communication, infidelity, feeling a lack of respect, divorce, parent/child discord, and relational harmony goals. Therapy is provided with warmth, thoughtfulness and empathy.

Tara has an energetic laugh that puts clients at ease and enjoys playfully incorporating her love of sarcasm into her work with her clients. She has been known to lovingly call people out on their “bologna” when she hears it and is a great accountability partner. Tara is also incredibly empathetic and provides a warm and safe environment and a quiet listening ear when the situation calls for it. Noticing and reading nonverbal communication and body language is a skill Tara possesses in spades so she often learns a lot even from things that go unsaid. Tara is judgement free and she encourages you to be genuine and authentic.
