Chat with me

My name is Tara and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a California native and have spent most of my career in a school-based setting, helping students and their families remove barriers so that they can lead their lives in the direction that they want. I feel honored being able to stand next to teens while they make their own way forward. In my free time, I enjoy spending as much time outside as I can- I love hiking and water activities. Fun fact: I have lived in three countries!
