Tara has worked in the mental health field for nearly two decades, initially at the residential level of care and later in outpatient, PHP and IOP levels of care. Although she enjoys working with people individually and with families, she has most enjoyed facilitating groups. She has experience leading groups on a number of topics, including DBT and CBT skills, relapse prevention, relational, movement, and body image.

Tara strongly believes recovery occurs in communities, and groups provide a first step to being a part of a community where healing can begin. She enjoys being able to assist people in gaining insight, support, and connection with others through their shared experiences.

Outside of counseling, Tara also enjoys spending time with her kiddo, reading research, science fiction films, chess and other boardgames.
