Tara uses EFT (tapping) and other evidence-informed clinical therapies while supporting growth, balance, and personal well-being.

Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping)

As a Certified Master Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner, Tara expertly guides clients as they tap specific meridian points on their head and upper body while talking about a specific issue. EFT helps release emotional blocks while promoting calmness and emotional healing. For more information about EFT, visit Tara's blog

Parenting Support

Tara provides professional and compassionate guidance to parents navigating their child's mental health journey, regardless of the child's age, empowering parents with tools, understanding, and strategies to foster resilience, healthy communication, and collaborative problem-solving.

Tara's lived and professional knowledge and experience are combined to provide expert guidance and support.
