More about me

Years in Practice: 10 State: Indiana

I am licensed in Indiana with 10 years of professional work experience. I have worked within inpatient, outpatient, medication-assisted treatment, and academic settings throughout the course of my career. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My core belief regarding the therapeutic process is the recognition each individual has inherent worth and value. I will tailor my therapeutic approach and techniques to best fit your needs and I have experience with a variety of approaches including Solution-Focused Brief therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and additional Client-Centered therapeutic approaches. I have worked with populations (18+ ages) in the areas of addiction (both chemical and behavioral), mental health (including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders anxiety disorders, disorders related to both short and long term trauma), and regularly have treated co-occurring disorders. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tara is one of the best therapists I have seen. I feel like she listens and understands without judgment. She makes it very easy to open up to and talk and I am one that has a hard time opening to people. She is a godsend and I am so thankful for our weekly meetings. She has truly helped me come along way in the past few months. I look forward to see what more progress I encounter.

Overall

Really appreciate the help Tara has provided. She does a great job of listening to my issues, even when I feel like I’m getting repetitive and complaining about the same issues over and over again.

Oct 13, 2022

Overall

Tara has helped me in so many ways, particularly with relationships. Her advice has always been practical, sometimes reinforcing my own ideas, other times suggesting that I should look for a different approach, (that I might never have considered). As my life seems to be heading in a better direction, we have started working on some underlying issues, I feel that this is how we will proceed more in the future. I had never had access to a therapist before, I feel very fortunate to be able to have someone like her to talk to.
