Tara begins with relationship first and pulls from her experience as a partner, parent, child, friend, etc. in order to orient herself to her client’s felt experience, using the tools of empathy and resonance to deepen the work. As a healing healer, Tara has walked through darkness in her own life including childhood trauma, bereavement, struggles in marriage, parenting children with special needs, spiritual abuse, & emotional dysregulation. And having engaged her own work both past and present, Tara knows the transformation, wholeness and peace that can come through counseling and considers the space sacred. From these shared experiences flows deep and authentic compassion which creates a felt sense of safety and understanding for clients that forms the foundation of all therapeutic work. When this connection is cultivated and felt, aloneness is undone, allowing traumas to be faced anew, this time with the accompaniment of a kind and experienced guide allowing old wounds to be healed and their power dismantled. The result is the formation of a secure attachment with self and others which engenders the internal resources necessary to flourish and thrive in life.
