Welcome! Meet Tara

I am passionate about helping others live in alignment with their values, strengths, and goals. My own journey toward authenticity began many years ago, shaped by life’s challenges and experiences. I learned that barriers, while often frustrating or intimidating, can serve as signals guiding us toward the growth and potential we’re capable of achieving. 

Mental health counseling is my second career. I spent sixteen years serving the Gallatin Valley in the field of dentistry, during which I also worked closely with leadership and facilitation coaches from across the country. This experience inspired me to earn both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership.

Despite these accomplishments, I realized my purpose was calling me elsewhere. I went on to earn a second Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Today, I integrate my experience in counseling and coaching to help clients connect with their authentic selves and create lasting, meaningful change.

I’ve lived in Bozeman for 24 years with my husband, our high-school-age twins, and a rotating cast of fur babies. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, gardening, spending time with family, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. 


Meet Raven

Currently in early preparation; formal therapy dog training begins soon.

Hi! My name is Raven — Raven Ophelia, to be exact (but my mom usually only calls me by my full name when I’m chewing on shoes). My mom likes to say that only she would come home on a whim with a Newfoundland/Black Lab puppy she found available nearby — but don’t let my Black Lab look fool you; my size and paws are pure Newfie! I’m pretty sure she’s right, and I’m very glad she brought me home. For now, I’m still a puppy, learning the basics and getting ready to start formal training when I’m old enough.

A little about me! I love people, tennis balls, going for walks, shoes (though my mom and I are working on that, and I’m doing great!), and playing with my siblings — both fur and human.  I’m excited to meet people when I’m ready. For now, I’m practicing being calm and gentle so that one day I can help my mom support our communities!
