Who am I?
Hi, I’m Tara. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Washington and Massachusetts.
My approach is a person-centered, strengths based approach that emphasizes a partnership between the client and therapist. Depending on the needs of each individual, I draw from cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and problem solving therapy and Lifespan integration.
I enjoy being able to provide support and helping individuals learn coping skills that will help them throughout their lives. I enjoy working with a variety of populations and attending training classes and conferences to better support those populations, including the LGBTQ+ community.
I’m also passionate about helping people decide wether they want to make a big move abroad and supporting during that big transition as it is a difficult adjustment for some.
In my free time, when I’m not helping clients, I enjoy various crafts, cooking, and spending time with my family and dogs.
