About myTarapy
From Surviving to Thriving
Where Hope Begins and Healing Finds a Home
Life has a way of changing us.
Sometimes through moments of incredible joy.
Sometimes through seasons we never expected to face.
Whether you're carrying the weight of:
anxiety,
grief,
addiction,
trauma,
relationship struggles,
or
simply searching for a place where you can breathe again,
I want you to know one thing...
You don't have to walk this journey alone.
Welcome to myTarapy—a place where your story matters, your struggles are met with compassion, and your future is filled with hope.
More Than a Name... A Promise
One of the questions I'm asked most often is,
"How did you come up with the name myTarapy?"
The answer is woven together from two of the greatest blessings in my life.
Years ago, some of my younger clients proudly told people,
"I don't go to therapy... I go to Tara-py!"
What started as a child's joke became something much more meaningful.
They unknowingly transformed the word therapy into something personal.
Something that belonged to them.
Around that same time, I was blessed with an extraordinary mentor named Dr. Joe.
He rarely called me simply "Tara."
Instead, he would greet me with,
"My Tara... how are you today?"
"My Tara... when are you going to write that book?"
"My Tara... keep going."
Those words were never just a nickname.
They were reminders that someone believed in me, challenged me to dream bigger, and encouraged me to become the person God was calling me to be.
Although Dr. Joe has since gone home to be with the Lord, his encouragement continues to echo throughout my life.
When I began building this practice, I realized something.
I didn't want counseling to feel clinical.
I didn't want people to feel like they were simply another appointment on my calendar.
I wanted every person who walked through my door to feel what my mentor made me feel...
Seen.
Known.
Believed in.
So I took a word that often feels intimidating...
Therapy.
...and made it personal.
Because this isn't just therapy.
It's...
My therapy.
Your therapy.

Why I Do What I Do
My journey has taught me that healing isn't reserved for people with perfect lives.
It's for ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges.
I've experienced loss.
I've experienced heartbreak.
I've faced uncertainty.
I've walked through cancer.
I've celebrated victories I once thought were impossible.
And through every season, I've discovered that hope is never found in pretending life is easy.
Hope is found in believing that tomorrow can be different than today.
That belief became the foundation of myTarapy.
A Place Built on
Faith,
Compassion,
&
HOPE
I have been blessed beyond measure by mentors who challenged me, prayer warriors who carried me when I was too weary to stand, family and friends who believed in me, and a God who never stopped writing my story—even during the chapters I didn't understand.
Those experiences shaped not only who I am, but how I care for others.
At myTarapy, you won't find judgment.
You'll find compassion.
You'll find honesty.
You'll find practical tools.
You'll find evidence-based care.
And if you desire it, you'll also find faith woven gently into the healing process.
Most importantly...
You'll find hope.
If God Can Do It for Me...
One of my favorite truths comes from Acts 10:34:
"God is no respecter of persons."
That means His love, His grace, and His ability to restore lives aren't reserved for a select few.
If God could bring healing, purpose, and restoration through the difficult seasons of my life...
Then I believe He can do the same for you.
No matter where you've been.
No matter what you've lost.
No matter how impossible today may feel.
Your story is not over.
