Our mission at FullScope Counseling Services, PLLC is to create a safe, compassionate, authentic and caring environment where we guide in helping our clients to make empowered decisions about their individual and professional lives. We assist individuals in recognizing the strengths they already have and find creative ways to utilize these gifts in overcoming current issues that prevent them from feeling fully empowered. At FullScope, we know that an individual is always growing personally and healing is always happening. Sometimes each of us needs support and guidance in our journey. Our approach to counseling is an integrative approach based on years of experience and training. We treat each client as the unique individual he or she is. Our first priority is to listen and understand designing the counseling process around our client. From the beginning of the counseling process, there is much emphasis on forming a strong relationship. We believe the foundation of the success of counseling is based on the creation of a relationship in which clients can feel comfortable, can be understood, and can trust. FREE 15 MINUTE PHONE CONSULTATION! The phone consultation is not therapy; however, this is an opportunity for you to speak with an experienced therapist to determine if receiving therapy or life coaching is a good fit for you or your family member.

Tara has an energetic laugh that puts clients at ease and enjoys playfully incorporating her love of sarcasm into her work with her clients. She has been known to lovingly call people out on their “bologna” when she hears it and is a great accountability partner. Tara is also incredibly empathetic and provides a warm and safe environment and a quiet listening ear when the situation calls for it. Noticing and reading nonverbal communication and body language is a skill Tara possesses in spades so she often learns a lot even from things that go unsaid. Tara is judgement free and she encourages you to be genuine and authentic. Tara is passionate about working with young adults who are struggling with life transitions or adjustments and those who experience anxiety due to "trying to do it all" and trying to be "everything for everyone". She knows and understands the pressures that our society puts on young adults and aims to help them regain control of the chaos and find some peace. Tara also loves guiding clients towards healing relationships and teaching more effective communication- whether it be with your spouse, a family member, or a co-worker/boss. Through their work together, Tara and her clients work to find tools and skills to improve the areas a client can change and ultimately work towards self-acceptance.

Do you want to take control of your life? It may be difficult for you to sleep, eat, or manage your emotions. Have you found yourself crying or feeling agitated? You worry that the pain and disappointments from the past will always impact your happiness. Perhaps, you are in a relationship, and you find yourself thinking that you love this person, but it's just not working. The life you see for yourself includes a "rich" love, where you are able to communicate and meet each other's needs. In this new life, you have the skills to handle issues and manage your fears. You want and deserve to have peace and joy. If you can relate, I'm here for you. My intent is to help you gain the things you want in life, whether to obtain a goal, improve a relationship, or achieve peace. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help change behaviors and manage anxiety and depression. I also use Christian Cognitive Behavior Therapy with clients who rely on their faith to help them cope with life. My other go-to tools include Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. Let's schedule a brief phone consult to determine if we can make a good working partnership. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

I have advanced training in Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which allows me to understand how clients’ attachment histories have led to insecurities, feeling stuck, low self-esteem, trauma responses, interpersonal conflict, disconnection in relationships and negative narratives. This model allows individuals and families to heal past hurts and get unstuck from repetitive negative patterns. I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), which is an empirically validated model for trauma therapy, and Brainspotting (BSP) Therapy. These models focus on resolving ongoing trauma symptoms by helping the brain and body process information that is uncomfortable or disturbing so that the information is less painful.

Hey, take a seat, get comfy! Life throws a lot at us, and it can feel like an uphill battle. So, let me start with this - no matter how messy it may seem, I'm here to listen. It can sometimes feel that society, one’s generation, or our own community has not prioritized our emotional wellbeing.

With CBT, Solution-focused techniques, and Polyvagal Theory, I am here to help you discover what path you want to walk.
