About Me

My name is Tara. I am a multiracial, cis-hetero woman (she/her), born in England to a South Asian, Indian father and 3rd generation white-Italian American mother. I moved to NYC in 2009.

As a trauma therapist and EMDRIA Approved EMDR consultant who works with individuals, couples, (co)parents and groups, some of the modalities that I have received training in and that I pull from in sessions include: Internally Family Systems, EMDR, Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy, IFIO and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Additionally, I am a certified parent coach from Dr. Becky's Good Inside and a trained SPACE treatment provider. I am a graduate of EGPS and am also finishing up my certification in Peri Mental Health.

Outside of private practice, I am Co-Director of the Child and Adolescent Trauma Program at National Institute for Psychotherapies and a clinical supervisor at ICP (in the Trauma Program). I have also been a clinical supervisor at Safe Horizon Counseling Center (NY's agency that works with folks who have experienced violence) and Ackerman Institute for the Family, where I was trained, used to teach and continue as staff through the Center for the Developing Child and Family.

I strive to be the therapist, educator, coach and consultant that I would want for myself and my loved ones, and have both personal and professional experience in the nuances and sensitivities occurring in multiracial, multicultural and interfaith families. I am committed to organizing around undoing racism in our larger societal world and approach therapy, consultation and coaching from anti-oppressive, liberatory and trauma-informed practices.
