Hi, I’m Tara
I have walked the walk, going from a broken home to finding love and meaning, now I’m here to show you how to do the same.
I can help you gently process your most vulnerable experiences and guide you to break old habits and behaviors that no longer serve you, and deeply heal what’s affecting your life today.
I’ve helped several women experience noticeable lasting growth and transform fears of abandonment, depression, unworthiness, or lack of self-trust to walk away from relationships that are not aligned, into confidence and self-trust.
Using integrative, transformative approaches such as hypnotherapy, NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and therapeutic coaching, this work is designed to meet you where you are, without pressure, and help you heal deeply with respect for your pace and boundaries.
I work with women healing from narcissistic relationships impacting self-worth, navigating childhood trauma, sexual abuse, or prolonged emotional stress.
These experiences can quietly shape how you see yourself and relate to the world, often long after the events themselves have passed.
Through gentle yet effective therapeutic methods that move beyond surface-level symptom relief, I can guide you toward meaningful, lasting change. Experiencing such transformation is the gift of finally feeling at home within your own body.
Together, we will create a safe and supportive space to explore what has been held inside, allowing the parts of you that need care and understanding to be met with compassion.
Over time, this work supports a deeper sense of self-trust, emotional steadiness, and unwavering confidence.
The vision behind Tara Therapeutic Coaching (TTC) is to offer a consistent, compassionate, and soothing space for those who are hurting.
One rooted in acceptance, empathy, shaping the hope of healing into a reality.
I help women stop feeling controlled by their emotions and become the leader of their own life.
I’m here to show you how to stop trying to think your way out of painful relationships, forcing yourself to move on, and blaming yourself every time you go back.
There's a different way to heal.
One that helps you feel safe enough to trust yourself, stop abandoning yourself, and finally feel free.
"I've done everything I can think of... so why do I still feel this way?"
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, watched the videos, maybe even been to therapy. You understand why you feel the way you do, but when life happens, you still find yourself reacting in ways you wish you didn't. It's exhausting wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again.
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
You'll learn how to move through difficult emotions without feeling consumed by them. Instead of one text, one disagreement, or one setback taking over your entire day, you'll begin trusting yourself to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, knowing you'll always be able to find your way back to yourself.
"I want to stop feeling like I'm never enough."
You long to feel confident in who you are. To stop comparing yourself. To stop settling for relationships that leave you questioning your worth. To trust that you're lovable exactly as you are, without constantly trying to earn it.
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
I’ll help you build a quiet confidence that doesn't disappear when someone disappoints you. As your self-esteem grows, you'll begin trusting yourself instead of constantly looking to others for reassurance. You'll find it easier to ask for what you need, receive love without questioning it, and believe that the right people will naturally find their place in your life because you're no longer abandoning yourself to keep others close.
"I want to let go of who I had to be to survive."
Maybe you've spent years people-pleasing. Walking on eggshells. Overthinking every conversation. Feeling guilty for saying no. Or carrying shame for how you've reacted when life felt overwhelming. You don't want to spend the rest of your life apologizing for a version of yourself that was simply doing her best.
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
You'll begin releasing the guilt for how you've reacted in the past and replacing it with compassion for the woman who was doing the best she could with what she knew at the time. As your reactions begin to change, you'll experience something even more meaningful—a growing sense of integrity because your actions finally reflect the woman you know you are becoming.
"I don't even know what's wrong anymore… I just know this isn't the life I imagined."
You feel disconnected from yourself. You wonder why happiness feels so hard to hold onto, why you second-guess yourself so much, or why life feels heavier than it seems for everyone else. Sometimes you even worry this is just who you'll always be.
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
Together, we'll help you reconnect with yourself so you can stop merely getting through each day and start building a life that feels fulfilling. A life where you experience a growing sense of belonging, confidence in who you are, meaningful work, relationships that nourish you, and hope for what's ahead instead of fear that you'll always feel this way.
"I'm tired of repeating the same patterns."
You keep telling yourself that next time you'll speak up. That next time you'll leave sooner. That next time you'll choose differently. But somehow you end up back in the same place, wondering why it's so much harder than it seems to be for everyone else..
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
Instead of relying on willpower, you'll begin creating lasting change that feels natural. You'll notice yourself responding differently without having to force it—choosing healthier relationships, letting go of self-sabotage, and becoming the kind of woman who follows through on what she knows is right for her, without getting in her own way.
"I want relationships that feel safe... starting with the one I have with myself."
You want to say what you mean without feeling guilty. Set boundaries without feeling selfish. Trust yourself instead of constantly asking everyone else what they think. Believe that the right people won't disappear because you finally chose yourself.
Inside Tara Therapeutic Coaching:
You'll develop the confidence to communicate openly, express yourself honestly, and set loving but powerful boundaries without carrying guilt afterwards. Whether someone chooses to stay or leave, you'll trust yourself to handle the emotions with grace, knowing that the relationships meant for you won't require you to lose yourself to keep them.
Confidence. Trust. Fulfillment
Make 2026 the year you finally start to live freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Healing from challenging relationships can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve learned to associate openness with risk.
In my sessions, safety and steadiness are the priority. We move at your pace, nothing is rushed or forced, and your experiences are honored without judgment.
Many clients have shared that simply being held and spoken to softly, and knowing they won’t be dismissed or pressured, is what makes them feel truly supported.
-
It’s normal to feel afraid at first. Every new experience can feel like uncertain territory. Like a person traveling to a new country for the first time, where they speak a different language. But I will be your guide and give you a map to assure you are safe and know exactly how to navigate this journey.
Your subconscious mind will only reveal what it knows you are ready to handle, as its primary function is to protect you.
In our sessions, the first and most important step is establishing safety in your body, and I will show you step-by-step how to do that. When you feel secure, you will feel ready to handle the depth of your core emotions, such as deep sadness or overwhelm.
As you develop emotional regulation tools and adapt to a new more balanced nervous system, you’ll gain the ability to navigate even the most intense feelings. Like an expert world traveler.
If, for a moment, you feel your heart sink into old intensities of feelings, you’ll recognize it without being consumed by it—because you’ll know how to regulate yourself and move through it with ease.
This sense of inner safety allows your unconscious mind to release what it has been holding onto, trusting that you are ready to receive its messages. I will guide you through this dialogue between your conscious and unconscious mind, ensuring that you feel supported, safe, and empowered throughout our work together.
-
The first step we will take together is establishing emotional safety.
No matter what your locked-away feeling holds, you will first be equipped and empowered with a whole toolkit of emotional regulation techniques.
This will help you build a window of tolerance for deep uncomfortable feelings, lessening its intensity.
I will teach you how to befriend your overpowering emotions, and gently heal the wounds it holds—allowing deep healing to take place.
-
Hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, can be highly effective and deeply healing, as it addresses the root of your emotions, allowing the associated symptoms to naturally release.
All emotional and behavioral responses stem from learned experiences. Through a therapeutic relaxed state—similar to guided meditation—we can access forgotten, repressed, or unprocessed memories, releasing their hold on you.
This process provides long-term relief by alleviating the emotional charge tied to past experiences, rather than relying solely on talk therapy, which focuses on rationalizing present symptoms.
This is why hypnosis and hypnotherapy are especially powerful, facilitating deep, lasting healing.
-
I believe that there is no online or offline, only presence. The most powerful moments are the ones when we feel relaxed and heard.
Every session starts with establishing our container, our session, where I help you feel grounded before we begin any transformative work.
The process and outcomes remain the same regardless of online or offline, as the success of hypnosis largely depends on the openness and willingness to engage in the experience.
Virtual sessions offer the added benefit of allowing you to be in a comfortable and familiar environment, which can further enhance relaxation.
Whether in person or online, the key factors—trust, focus, and connection—are maintained, ensuring a successful container/session.
-
Hypnotherapy is completely safe and soothing that feels like a natural, relaxed state of focused attention.
During hypnotherapy, you remain in control and can exit the state at any time if needed.
It’s a common misconception that you can get "stuck" in hypnosis, mainly because of how television has portrayed the concept in stage acts.
In reality, hypnosis is not a form of sleep or unconsciousness. You are always aware of your surroundings, and if you were to ever feel uncomfortable or need to end the session, you can easily do so.
The primary goal of hypnotherapy is to help you feel safe, relaxed, and empowered so you can explore and heal emotional or behavioral patterns in a supportive environment.
-
Hypnosis and meditation may seem similar because both involve relaxation and focused attention, but they serve different purposes and work in distinct ways:
Hypnosis uses relaxed but focused attention to achieve specific, goals, such as healing from repressed trauma memories, making it a powerful tool for overcoming fears, rewiring thought patterns, and facilitating deep emotional healing.
During hypnosis, the mind is guided into a trance-like state to access and process unconscious beliefs, behaviors, and emotions. It’s similar to day dreaming.
Meditation is typically a self-directed practice that encourages mindfulness, awareness, and inner stillness. It helps train the mind to observe thoughts without attachment, promoting relaxation, clarity, and present-moment awareness.
Unlike hypnosis, meditation is not designed to introduce suggestions for change but rather to cultivate a state of peace and detachment from thoughts.
In short, hypnosis is an active therapeutic tool for transformation, while meditation is a passive practice for awareness and mindfulness.
Both can be complementary, but hypnosis provides a direct pathway to subconscious change, making it especially effective for emotional healing, stress relief, and personal growth.

If there’s something in your past that you feel ashamed or embarrassed about, know that a part of you was acting out of protection.
Everything you did was in service of your survival. I am here to support, comfort, and hold space for you so that, together, we can release what no longer serves you.
Moving forward, you can step into your life with the understanding that the person you are today is defined by the choices you make from this moment on.

What if…you could move through that resistance?
What if…you could heal what’s holding you back and transform your life into something so beautiful?
What if…you were open to whatever the process looked like because you have what it takes to succeed?
What if… this experience could change your life for the better?
What if… you could navigate those feelings with newfound strength, finally understanding how to experience your emotions in a way that empowers you to break through barriers?
And even if resistance arises along the way, I am here to support, encourage, and guide you through it. Because resistance is also information about something that needs to be addressed before we start any transformation work.
Whatever you’re feeling has a valid reason for being there, and together, we will uncover its purpose.
With clarity and collaboration, we will move through any blockages, allowing you to step into the transformation you deserve.

The mind-body-emotion connection refers to the way our thoughts, physical sensations, and emotions are deeply intertwined.
Have you ever been in a fight with your loved one where the world stops, everything feels heavy, your throat chokes up and you react out of a desperate desire to appease the primal fear of abandonment, and over explain your intentions or apologize for a mistake you may not have even made?
That is an example of the mind-body-connection. Where a physical sensation is so overwhelming that it manifests into an emotional fear of abandonment that it results in a behavior that you don’t feel proud of.
Our emotions don’t just exist in our minds—they manifest in our bodies through a tight chest, a racing heart, or a stomach drop sensation.
Likewise, our thoughts can influence how we feel emotionally and physically.
For example, stress or unresolved emotions can show up as fatigue, headaches, or muscle tension, while positive emotions can create a sense of ease and well-being in the body.
Through practices like hypnotherapy, we tap into this connection to process and release emotions in a way that brings both mental and physical relief.
By working with the unconscious mind and nervous system, we can rewire old patterns, allowing for greater emotional resilience, clarity, and healing.
