Bio At A Glance:

I am a psychotherapist and yoga therapist specializing in deep, trauma-informed healing that integrates mind, body, and relational work. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, supporting clients through a structured yet intuitive process designed for long-term transformation, not temporary relief.

“Your part in it…is very simple, to relieve suffering on every plane, wherever you find it…because that’s what conscious entities are doing here; because there’s nothing else to do” Ram Dass

About my work

My work is centered on one core idea: healing happens when we engage the whole system, not just our thoughts, but the nervous system, the body, our relationships, and the deeper layers of self.

I integrate relational psychotherapy, yoga therapy, and trauma-informed modalities such as Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment and the Comprehensive Resource Model ™.

I also draw on adjunctive energy tools and supported non-ordinary states of awareness when they serve the goals of psychotherapy. These practices are not separate from therapy. They are used intentionally to help access what may be held beneath words, support nervous system regulation, and deepen integration.
Rather than focusing only on insight, our work together is designed to help you safely experience, process, and transform what is held beneath the surface.

Because of the depth of this work, I offer a structured therapeutic pathway. Some clients begin with Whole Again: Foundations, an optional program for clients who are ready to build more resourcing tools and prepare for deeper therapeutic work.

Therapy with me is not linear or rushed. It unfolds over time, guided by your readiness, capacity, and internal rhythm. Depending on your needs, this process may include individual sessions, yoga therapy practices, group work, adjunctive energy-based practices, and immersive retreats, all designed to support integration, continuity, and lasting change.

My approach is deeply relational, intuitive, creative, and grounded in theory and experience.

  • Relational Psychotherapy
  • Comprehensive Resource Model ™ (CRM)
  • Trauma-Informed Stabilization (Janina Fisher approach)
  • Attachment-Based Therapy
  • Family Systems Therapy (Satir)
  • Yoga Therapy (1000+ hours training)
  • Adjunctive energy healing practices (Yoga, Sound, entering non-ordinary states for profound healing)
  • I bring decades of clinical experience shaped by both professional training and lived practice.
  • My early work supporting youth, families, and communities in high-intensity environments, including wilderness programs, in patient settings, laid the foundation for the relational and experiential approach I bring to healing today.
  • I later expanded my clinical work in frontline social services, supporting individuals navigating trauma, instability, and major life transitions.
  • From 2013, I worked at Pine River Institute as both a Psychotherapist and Team Manager, where I deepened my experience in complex trauma, family systems theory, parent coaching, developmental theories, and intensive therapeutic environments.
  • In 2018, I founded Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre with the intention of creating an integrated space where psychotherapy and embodied healing work together within a cohesive framework.
  • A structured, long-term approach, for change that sticks
  • Deep, trauma-informed work at your pace
  • Integration of mind, body, energy and relational healing

Answers to some frequently asked questions:

You can complete this program after starting 1:1 therapy with Tara – it is not a required first step but it is a powerful program for people who are ready to embody and integrate deeper practices for nervous system wholeness and evolution.
My work is designed for long-term healing and may not be the best fit for short-term or solution-focused therapy.
Our sessions go beyond conversation, working directly with the nervous system, body awareness, and relational patterns to support deeper psychological, physiological, energetic and spiritual transformation.
No. Yoga therapy is integrated into the psychotherapy process, but it is not offered as a standalone service.
At times, therapy sessions may focus on developing and sustaining yoga-based practices that support psychological change. This work still happens within the broader container of psychotherapy.
Yoga therapy is also woven into the healing process through the Whole Again program.
