About Tara
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Victoria. I have over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through a variety of life challenges. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Meditation Instructor, EMDR Basic Practitioner, and OCD specialist, I take a holistic approach to counselling and wellness, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet each client's unique needs.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of counselling settings, including private practice, school districts, provincial correctional facilities, First Nations communities, and the BC Schizophrenia Society. I support clients experiencing OCD, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and everyday life stressors. Clients often describe me as having a calming and supportive presence. My primary areas of specialization include EMDR, OCD treatment, and couples counselling.

Completing my education while raising my young son was very challenging but also rewarding. Growing up I experienced anxiety and I was surprised how much speaking with a therapist allowed me to develop self-awareness and agency over my life. This sparked an interest for me in this work and a passion for creating safe spaces for people to explore their personal journeys. When I am not in the office, I can be found enjoying time at the gym, hiking, playing soccer, traveling, and watching my son play hockey and lacrosse.
