I’m Tara, and I’m glad you’re here. 

I believe that a single conversation can change your life. And I know for certain that a series of conversations will transform your experience of the world entirely. 

I first experienced coaching as a client. My life checked all of the boxes I’d designed for myself as a kid growing up in small town North Carolina: I had two graduate degrees, I was married to a good man and had three beautiful children, and I’d logged tons of miles of travel and home addresses all over the world. I volunteered throughout my community for causes and campaigns that I cared about, and I had a large social network and a full calendar. Yet I was emotionally numb, physically tired, and empty of purpose. I loved the people in my life, but I didn’t feel like I was actually alive. And I had no idea how to begin to talk about it, much less fix it. 

With a little bit of courage and willingness, and a lot of support from my coaches, I was able to start living from my heart’s desire instead of from what I thought I “should” do. I felt myself unfolding into a fuller and more joyful life, one where my values and desires were clear to me and my choices felt more powerful and authentic. 

I knew I wanted to bring that same gift to others. I got trained and certified by Accomplishment Coaching and became a life coach dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey towards discovering and living out their life's purpose. I believe each person has a unique calling embedded in their heart, and that the world needs us to answer that call.  Whether you are feeling unfulfilled in your current career, going through a major life transition, or simply yearning for a deeper sense of meaning, I am here to support you in uncovering your unique gifts, passions, and the path that aligns with your true calling.
