Life can be complex and unpredictable. We all face challenges that feel overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to feel stuck or lost in the midst of it all. If you’re here, you’re likely navigating something that feels difficult to make sense of, and I understand what that’s like. Having been in the room both as a client and as a clinician, I know how powerful it is to find someone who truly listens and meets you where you are, without judgment or pretense.

You may want to work on relationship issues, boost self-esteem, find freedom from being "stuck", or simply want someone to join the process of understanding yourself better. Whatever might bring you into therapy, the clinical approaches I use are strength-based (focusing on your strengths) and are proven to be effective for both short and long-term therapy. I believe starting with a clear understanding of a client's past experiences, current issues, and therapist and client working together in a safe environment are key ingredients for therapeutic progress.

Change for the better is good. Yet any change is difficult. Many of us do well at managing our lives by mitigating our problems with justifications like, "It's not that bad...things could be worse." Until, one day, the epiphany hits, and we realize that we need help. I urge my patients to excavate patterns from their past that may be holding them back, so we can work toward solutions and strategies for bettering their lives and relationships. My work has been varied and rewarding, seeing individuals and couples, using interventions that spur communication while maintaining mutual respect.

Hi there, I'm Tara! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, practicing since 2011. I believe that mental health isn’t just about what’s going on inside of us but also about the world we live in, the relationships we build, and the systems we interact with.

I use evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but I also know that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
