  • "Sessions with Tara have been a key part in my healing journey. She is a wonderful listener, easy to open up to, and supportive. She’s asked me thought provoking questions, helped me flip negative thoughts into positive, and created a safe space I can be vulnerable in. I have more confidence than I ever have, and I thank her for that."

  • "My son was presenting multiple issues at school and home after the loss of a grandparent. He struggled with attention, depression, suicidal thoughts, being defiant and impulsive. We were referred to Tara as she had worked in the school system and specializes with children who are presenting multiple issues. She met our son and embraced him immediately. She worked with our pediatrician, us as parents, and even did the leg work to help us find other resources. He is doing amazing now, and so are we, with the tools she gave us to get through the tough moments and sustain the good. She has changed our life and led us toward the light at the end of the tunnel."

  • "I started therapy several years ago in another state to work through a child-parent relationship and some pretty rough anxiety I was experiencing. When my spouse and I moved to TN in 2020 one of the first things I sought out was a new therapist. It can be so scary to transition such personal and intimate care to someone new but the moment I met Tara I knew I was in good hands! Tara is kind, knowledgeable and real. I never feel judged and she meets me where I'm at emotionally, on any given day we meet, with a welcoming sort of energy that creates a space for being vulnerable, honest and reflective. I came into my work with Tara already equipped with many tools for navigating my mental health but she has added to them ten-fold and I feel like I continue to grow not only in my self awareness but in my ability to face the challenges and triumphs life brings to us every day. 10/10 Do recommend!

  • "Tara has been such an asset to our family and our child with anxiety and OCD compulsions. She is caring and thoughtful in her approaches. She has involved us in every decision including the language she uses with our child, the progress our child is making, and next steps going forward with our child's counseling plan. She is very family-oriented and her love and desire for the success of every child is evident in everything she does. Even our child who does not currently receive counseling loves Ms. Tara from their few interactions in the waiting room!"
