She supports clients with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD / trauma, stress, insomnia, adjustment difficulties, relationship challenges and grief and loss. She has worked with clients affected by developmental trauma, sexual trauma, family violence, peri-natal or post-natal challenges, social and economic marginalisation, and other systemic adversities.

Tara shares a strong passion in the intersection of clinical practice and research. She also shares a clinical interest in the intersection of physical and mental health and has supported individuals recovering from acute health events, adjusting to new diagnoses and treatment, and working through end-of-life challenges and conversations.

Tara is passionate about finding the “Just Right” treatment for each individual client. She draws on a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to support deeper explorations of emotional, behavioural, and relational patterns, build capacities for change, and overcome distress associated with past trauma experiences.
