ONLINE THERAPY IN MD, NC, & FL
Hi, my name is Tara.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience sitting in the messy, complicated, beautiful space we call relationships. Over that time, I’ve learned two things for sure: no couple is perfect, and every couple has a shot at something better than what they’re stuck in right now.
​
Why do I love this work? Because relationships are where real life happens. They’re where our best selves show up and where our sharp edges come out too. Helping couples learn to navigate those differences without losing the closeness that brought them together is the most rewarding job I can imagine.
​
This work fuels my soul because I get to watch walls come down, laughter sneak back in, and couples remember, 'oh right...we actually like each other.' I love helping people find their way back to connection, intimacy, and that sense of being truly seen.
Why this works
when other things haven't.
You’re not here to prove who’s “right” or “wrong.”
You’re not looking for homework assignments or another worksheet.
And you definitely don’t need a referee blowing the whistle on every argument.
​
-
You’re tired of walking on eggshells just to keep the peace.
-
You’re worn out from having the same fight on repeat.
-
You miss laughing together instead of just talking about bills and schedules.
-
You want the tension to stop lingering in the room long after an argument ends.
-
You want to feel wanted, seen, and understood again.
​​
Couples work with me because they want something deeper: to feel close again. To stop tiptoeing around each other. To finally end the same fight that never seems to go away. And most of all, to remember what it feels like to actually enjoy being together.
The shift couples experience:
-
You stop feeling like roommates and start feeling like partners again.
-
The same arguments finally stop looping, and when disagreements do happen, they don’t spiral out of control.
-
Conversations feel easier, lighter, and actually go somewhere without the frustration and shutdowns.
-
You don’t have to walk on eggshells anymore. The tension in the room eases, and the silence between you feels comfortable again, not heavy.
-
The walls come down. Touch, laughter, and intimacy come back in ways that feel natural and not forced.
This isn’t about quick fixes or pretending problems don’t exist. It’s about building the kind of relationship you’re relieved to come home to, and proud to wake up to.
Backed by training, grounded in care.
I’ve spent the last 15 years working with couples and families in just about every setting you can imagine—from community nonprofits to graduate training clinics to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Along the way, I’ve also trained future therapists as a clinical supervisor and as an Adjunct Professor.
All of that experience comes down to this: I know how complex relationships can be, and I know how to help couples find their way back to each other.
You don’t have to stay stuck in cycles that leave you drained and disconnected.
Let’s work together to bring back the closeness, trust, and intimacy you both deserve.
