Meet Tara

I offer several evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure, Exposure Response Prevention for OCD, and Behavioral Activation for depression. I have specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure-based treatments for anxiety and have also worked in several other areas such as pain and sleep. My therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral which integrates mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment-based approaches. Additionally, I incorporate humanistic elements that fundamentally hold that each individual has inherent worth and value. In therapy, we explore the ways internal and external factors have impacted your mental health and strive toward achieving your tailored treatment goals.
