Tara's Bio

As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in helping adults explore and heal the deeper layers of their experiences through EMDR Therapy and Deep Brain Reorienting. I work one-on-one with individuals, creating a safe and connected therapeutic relationship—because I believe it’s within relationship that true healing becomes possible.

My approach is grounded in presence, compassion, and a deep respect for the human spirit. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we gently uncover the roots of trauma, regulate the nervous system, and move toward greater wholeness.

My own journey is what led me into the counseling field. Learning about the brain and how we are wired to show up in the world gave me direction—and a profound belief in our innate capacity to heal and grow.

Whether you're just beginning your healing process or ready to go deeper, I’m here to support you with care, curiosity, and trust in your inner wisdom.

I offer Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) intensives—an innovative and deeply healing approach to trauma therapy developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan in Scotland. DBR allows us to access trauma at the brainstem level, where the body’s earliest survival responses are held.

In early developmental trauma, a child’s system can be overwhelmed by emotional pain, leading to a state of shock. In order to survive, the nervous system initiates protective strategies—disconnecting us from the unbearable and often ungrieved experiences of aloneness, rejection, betrayal, and humiliation. These unprocessed core wounds can shape our lives in painful ways, even decades later.

DBR provides a safe and structured way to gently release the shock at its source, allowing for the natural emergence of grief, self-compassion, and ultimately, peace. This work can be truly transformative.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this profound healing journey. You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode—healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
