Tara earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Utah and has over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Her background includes working with veterans, women in correctional settings, and individuals from diverse backgrounds who have experienced significant adversity. Tara has particular expertise in trauma and PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, and women's issues. She utilizes evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients process the past, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the life they want to create.
