I work with individuals whose lives have been disrupted by trauma, whether from a crime, accident, or other overwhelming experiences. My clients often find themselves trapped in survival responses long after a crisis has passed, experiencing constant unease or anxiety. By providing a secure and supportive environment, I help them process these experiences and regain the clarity and control needed to move forward.

Hello! I'm Tara, a Registered Counsellor practicing in Newlands, CT. Many of the people I work with are capable adults or teens who look like they’re coping, but internally feel anxious, stuck, or worn down. My services may be a good fit if you are struggling to manage stress, anxiety, trauma responses, chronic pain, or life difficulty and could do with some support to live fully and feel like yourself again. Counselling with me is warm, down to earth and collaborative. We don’t only talk about what’s difficult - we explore how your nervous system has learned to respond, why some patterns persist, and what you can do to shift them.

On the surface, it seems like things are okay. Objectively you have the things that society says is suppose to make you happy - yet you are not happy. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and dissatisfaction. No matter what you do, or force yourself to do, you just don't find it in anything. The last time you felt true joy was as a child on the playground. It seems as if though everyone around you is doing extremely well, so what is wrong with you for not feeling the same. This feeling is more common than you think. You are not as alone as you might think.

My therapeutic approach is more practical and action-orientated that aims towards creating a rich and meaningful life. This includes learning to accept the pain that inevitably comes with it instead of trying to alleviate it. I believe happiness can be achieved when we commit ourselves towards living a life that aligns with our values. Collaboratively we work together to increase psychological flexibility, adaptability, and tolerance. This means expanding beyond d the pain, not avoiding it. This will look different based on individual needs.

I see therapy as a genuine human encounter—one that goes beyond roles or techniques. I aim to be fully present in the room, bringing my whole self into the work, rather than performing as a distant expert. In my view, the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when both of us are able to show up as real people. Within that kind of relationship, deeper understanding, emotional clarity, and lasting change can occur. My work is insight-oriented, helping you to understand not only what you are feeling, but why—tracing patterns, meanings, and experiences across the life course.
