You are not your trauma

Often we feel defined by our trauma - it becomes who we are and how we identify. But you are so much more than your trauma! It is time to rediscover who you are outside of your trauma… are you ready to start your healing journey?

Coaching is not just a business to me… it is deeply personal.

For years… decades even… I have felt God calling me to a place where I can come alongside those who are hurting to provide encouragement and speak truth into their lives. For a long time, I didn’t know what that would look like, but that desire in my heart never faded. In those years of waiting, I walked through some of the hardest seasons of my life - seasons of loss, rejection, despair, and hurt that seemed unbearable at the time. I now refer to those as the “wilderness” years, as it was in those years that I believe the Lord was preparing me for this season. The season where He could use all of that pain for a purpose - meeting others in their pain with a genuine sense of empathy, compassion, and a desire to breathe life back into their aching hearts.

It is from that place that I approach coaching. It is a deeply personal place where I feel the immense honor and privilege to partner with others in their healing, just as others have done for me. If I can help just one person claim victory over their trauma and reclaim the life God has for them, then I truly believe that every tear I have shed in my own journey is worth it. YOU are worth it. I would love the opportunity to join you in your journey toward healing!

Let’s work together…

Hi there! I’m Tara!

I’m a Certified Trauma Coach who loves Jesus and people. I love hearing people’s stories and walking alongside of them to find healing, growth, and freedom from the trauma they have endured. My clients are not just “clients” to me - they are beloved sisters and brothers who I pray for, care about, and serve as best as I can. I bring my own vulnerability and sharing to our sessions as a way to connect and inspire courage in my clients to do the same. I am passionate about helping my clients see their true worth, value, and identity as given to them by their Creator and Heavenly Father, no matter what false identities they’ve grown to embrace as a result of trauma, lies, and hurt in their past.

Trauma is not something I just study - it is something I have lived and have and will continue to seek healing from in my life journey. I know the courage it takes to seek help, do the hard work, and step into the life that is thriving, not just surviving. As a fellow trauma survivor, I bring my own experiences, my training in trauma, my faith, and my compassion for people to my sessions. I would be honored to partner with you in your journey toward freedom and finding purpose in your pain - you deserve it!

  • Client Testimonial - Mari P. (Jan 2025)

    “Tara, you have been a tremendous support in my journey towards healing. You have been a listening ear and virtual shoulder to cry on. You create a safe space to explore the hurting and broken parts of my heart. That safe vulnerability provides opportunities of healing, that allows me to grieve, process, accept, and move forward. You blend compassion and wisdom, kindness, and accountability. You are iron that sharpens iron and a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Thank you for your support as I walk through such a deep, dark valley. I was never alone as you were the hands and feet of Jesus. You bring truth that lights up my way through the dark places of grief. The most beautiful souls are the ones who walk out of the fire and then return with water for those who are still in it. Thank you for the water, Tara. Others need it too.”

  • Client Testimonial - Keliy A. (Jan 2025)

    “I love Tara’s vulnerability and her ability to see/ give name to things I don’t see. She has very good insight and makes me feel seen. I can tell she cares about me and loves God.”

  • Peer Testimonial - Wilma K. (Jan 2025)

    “Tara oozes warmth and compassion. Feeling safe to share your heart after trauma is crucial for healing. With Tara, her non-judgmental spirit makes you feel like you can relax and share for hours. She has had her own deep struggles with trauma and her desire to care for others is obvious. There is no shame when Tara coaches you; only a sense that it will be ok and you have deep value and worth. She sees the positives even when you share the negatives. Coaching with Tara is a true blessing.”
