Hi, I’m Tara!
Helping you feel safe expressing yourself, becoming emotionally secure, self-trusting, and feel deeply understood so you can experience calmness, peace and stability without overthinking or self-doubt.
“Healing is like a river’s journey—taking time, flowing around obstacles, and eventually finding its stillness.”
I’m so glad you are here!
I’m Tara, the founder of Tara Therapeutic Coaching (TTC). I’ve been helping clients for over 2 years now. I love the therapeutic work that I do because it is such an honor to witness my clients grow into such beautiful expressive women, living with a voice that eloquently articulates their feelings, and happily thriving with unshakable confidence. Seeing them step into their power, honor their needs, and feeling worthy just as they are is such a joy.
My expertise in a wide range of therapeutic techniques helps me support my clients from different angles so that all aspects of their healing feel fully addressed and supported. I deeply honor my clients pace and unique life path, with their own aspirations and dreams for their future.
With a challenging upbringing myself, I am no stranger to the depth of feelings that arise within when our needs are not met with love and understanding, especially fears of abandonment, feelings of not being good enough, or always needing to justify emoting big feelings. I also know how to heal and move through those experiences so you can live a life fully in your power and lead by example.
I am a lover of all things earthly: human connection, deep conversations, dance, and camping around the globe.
I am so happy to be alive and have the opportunity to always be a student, engaging in so many different activities this life allows me to explore for my own continuous healing.
I began this journey to heal my own wounds when I had lost all hope and needed something beyond just talking about my problems to show me that healing was indeed possible.
Since then, I vowed to help others using the same techniques that transformed my life. I want to help you feel loved, fulfilled, and trusting of yourself and others. We can do this together!
My mission is to guide you in letting go of emotional baggage, rewiring negative thought patterns, and reclaiming a life of clarity, confidence, and purpose. I bridge the mystical with the practical, incorporating guided meditation, somatic healing, and deep subconscious work.
Above all, I create a compassionate, safe space where trust naturally flows, allowing others to feel deeply supported as they reconnect with their inner power. Whether you’re looking to release trauma, reduce stress, gain clarity, or rewire your subconscious for success, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

"Healing can be a destination if you want it to be. People debate whether healing is a journey or a destination, but I see it as a series of destinations across a lifetime.Life will throw curve balls—that’s just how it is—but with the right tools, you can get through them, celebrate the wins of breaking old patterns, and really enjoy that Experience.It’s a bit like setting out to be a world traveler: you may feel uncertain at first, but with each new stop, you become more resilient and confident to navigate whatever comes next and start to enjoy each place with more Excitement and Confidence."More About Me
"That's me performing with fire!"

I’ve always been someone who loves learning.
Because of that, I’ve worn many hats in this lifetime. From completing my master’s in industrial design at the prestigious Pratt Institute, and working as a UX/UI designer, to performing fire theatrics across many stages.
And it doesn’t end there. I continue to explore life with curiosity and a hunger to learn and experience.
Over the years that curiosity has led me into many other creative and exploratory spaces. I’m constantly exploring different hobbies and interests because I don’t believe in the shortened version of “jack of all trades, master of none.” I like to say, “Jack of all trades, master of none, but a student of the soul in every one.”
In my own life, every interest or hobby I’ve followed, every dance class, every design project, every fire performance, and every deep conversation arrived at a time when I needed it. None of it was random. Each pursuit helped bring to the surface a part of me I was searching for and trying to strengthen.
At the time, I didn’t know those qualities were already within me. I thought I was missing them. Looking back, I can see I was unconsciously seeking experiences that would draw them out. Dance helped me practice confidence before I fully felt it. Fire performance strengthened my presence and sense of self. Design sharpened my logical thinking skills. Even conversation has taught me how to listen beneath the surface.

People find it very hard to believe when I describe to them that the past version of me was so stuck, filled with guilt, shame, and in painful heartbreaking relationships. Especially because the present me is so filled with self-love and I’m in the most beautiful relationship I’ve ever had.
But this was not always the case. The childhood I had lacked a lot of my basic needs, and it was frightening to experience extreme mistrust, lack of love, and pain from my caregivers.
Those earlier experiences shaped a lot of my adult life especially the relationships I attracted. It was so uncanny because all I longed for was love, but I never found a loving safe relationship. Little did I know that I was attracting turbulent relationships because, unconsciously, I had equated safety with instability and that was familiar.
Hindsight can be a wonderful teacher but only if we chose not to repeat the patterns it reveals.
I worked with a therapeutic coach specializing in the transformational techniques I now teach, and I experienced deep healing. Through this work, I understood how my past shaped me, but it also made me realized I had the agency to break the cycle and experience the love I truly craved.
It was through this work that I finally was able to break major core wounds that I never thought would be possible.
I made a promise to myself that I would learn all these powerful techniques so that I can help anyone who needs my guidance.
It’s a blessing to witness this work impact so many lives, and it warms my heart to see my clients win.

I value a continuously fulfilling life—one where I come home every day feeling deeply happy, knowing I’ve lived the day to its fullest instead of worrying about tomorrow.
I believe that everyone has the potential to create a thriving inner world that can mirror the everyday life they want to live, where self-love and emotional well-being reflect outward into meaningful relationships and a life of purpose.
Through inner-child healing, subconscious reprogramming, and self-empowerment, I guide others to reconnect with their best selves.
Staying in a state of play, curiosity, and lightness is essential for deep inner work, allowing healing to unfold with joy, ease, and transformation.
