Introduction

Hi, I’m Tara, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Embody Therapy and Wellness. I began my work in therapy with a passion for helping people feel more connected to themselves and their relationships. I’m trauma-informed and specialize in working with teens, individuals, and couples navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and healing from past experiences. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, creating a supportive space where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and experience meaningful, lasting change.
