About

Tara believes counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and the client. She works together with her clients to help set goals and determine the best way to achieve what her clients need. Every client is different and comes to counseling with different expectations. She believes counseling is teamwork and that everyone must be on the same page.
Tara has worked extensively with families to help build a better flow at home when dealing with intellectual disabilities. She has 14 years of experience working with families with children with autism and has helped build the gap to help manage children's needs and make the home a better environment for everyone.
