Tara has been an absolute god sent in helping me navigate a really tough patch in my life. She listens and provides positive input in actionable small steps towards a more calmer and clear headspace. She has been available on short notice at times of dire need and has always allowed for my thoughts to lead the process and pace. I’ve felt heard and seen by her which counts for a lot sometimes
