Tara is a great professional! She has great patience and listens.m attentively. Even if you have a different opinion from her, she attempts to understand the root cause. She also is able to help you draw conclusions and correlations that you never saw yourself. It’s been a pleasure being her client. I have come a long way and didn’t even realize it. Plus she is so friendly and incorporates the spiritual aspect that is needed. Thank you!

I am a wife, mother, Texas Licensed Professional Counselor. (LPC) therapist, and professional school counselor. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a focus in Special Education from Langston University and a Master of Education degree in Counseling, from Dallas Baptist University.
My previous counseling experience includes: working with families and individuals to overcome depression, grief, trauma, and adjustment issues. I have also worked with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder develop social skills, and with parents of children with special needs in a K-12 school district and private settings. I have over 25 years of experience in the field of education.
It is my desire to work beside you to discover your truth in a safe and nurturing environment. It is my goal to help you work through your emotions as we walk through traumatic experiences that may be keeping you from positive growth and discovering your authentic self. I will also help you develop the skills and solutions that will have a positive impact on your interpersonal relationships, and allow you to live your best life. I use Mindfulness, Solution-Focused therapy, Crisis Intervention, and other modalities to accommodate the needs of my clients.
I am passionate about working with children aged twelve and up, teens, and adults. It is also my calling to work with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder as well Sp Parents of Special Needs Children. I have over 20 years of experience and training doing so. I also have experience in helping individuals cope and heal from a variety of issues including trauma/abuse, anxiety, and depression.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Healing is a tricky thing. Sometimes you think you're good, and then the most random things can trigger you. That's what happened to me after moving on from an emotionally abusive relationship where there was a lot of gaslighting present, and Tara gave me all the support and guidance that I needed in a comforting way. She met me where I was and helped me get to where I wanted to be. I am so grateful for that. I feel equipped to keep moving forward with confidence on my healing journey.
I'm so glad I was matched with Tara, very compassionate and knowledgeable counselor!
