My name is Tara. My pronouns are she/her, and I'm a Diné woman. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for helping people find a sense of love, acceptance, and belonging within themselves and within their communities. I love spending time with my friends and family, traveling, reading, and doing artsy things. Welcome to my page! I hope reading through this can give you a good sense of me to see if you think we would work well together.
I received my bachelors degree with a major in Psychology and a minor in Family Studies from Southern Utah University in 2014. A few years later, I graduated from the University of Utah Master of Social Work program in 2017. When I started my master’s program, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do with my career, but I knew I had a passion for helping people. I gained a variety of work experience including working with parenting issues, autism, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.
Although therapy is a team effort between a client and therapist, change can really only come from the client's actions. Therefore, I hope to create a therapeutic environment in which my clients feel empowered and excited to take charge of their lives.
To me, that means being true to myself. It’s important to me that I honor my clients’ identities. I hope that I create a safe space for others to feel they can be authentic as well. Bring your worries, your pain, your joy, your quirks, and everything that makes you who you are.
I do my best to provide consistency to my clients by maintaining a regular schedule, being available during my working hours, and providing as much notice as possible for any cancellations.
I value providing kindness and compassion to others. I also think it's important for people to be kind to themselves. Shame spirals can be so painful. I hope to provide healing for people to learn to give themselves grace and learn to hold healthy boundaries.
I take my work and people’s lives very seriously. I also think there are many opportunities to notice the little things that bring us joy. Humor can be a great coping skill!
As a therapist, I believe that healing starts with a strong, trusting relationship. As you work with me, you'll see that I do my best to follow through on commitments. I give you honest feedback (in a kind way of course). I admit that I don't have all the answers. I am here for you, the best way I can be.
