Evidence-Based Specialized couples Therapy
How can I help?
I founded Rising Tides Therapy Center, PLLC with the heartfelt mission of helping couples enhance their communication and deepen their connection. As a Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience working with couples in high-stress relationships, I bring both confidence and passion to providing comprehensive, evidence-based therapy. My goal is to support couples who are committed to each other but feel stuck in a cycle of negativity and misunderstanding, guiding them towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

Tara's Therapeutic Approach
I take time to really get to know each person’s story, looking at the big picture before diving into specific issues. My main focus is on helping couples navigate their relationships, encouraging them to explore, discuss, and challenge their thoughts and feelings together. I use a systemic and integrative approach, always maintaining a nonjudgmental stance.
​
My therapeutic style is warm, intuitive, collaborative, and often sprinkled with humor.
​
I’m dedicated to empowering couples to create their most fulfilling and meaningful relationship, making me a trusted guide for those seeking growth and positive change.
