At JANUS Code, Tara supports people through the moments in life that feel uncertain, overwhelming, or full of possibility. She works with individuals who are navigating transitions, feeling stuck, or trying to find their way forward and offers a space that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

Tara holds a Master of Social Work Degree and brings a unique blend of therapy informed life coaching, and community-based experience into her work. Her approach is deeply relational: she believes meaningful change starts with feeling seen, understood, and safe enough to explore what’s next.

What it’s like to work with Tara

• Life is easier with humor, so lets get real and laugh

• Insightful while also practical and action-oriented

• Collaborative: you won’t feel like you’re doing this alone

• Affirming of identity, neurodiversity, and lived experience

Tara’s coaching is informed by evidence-based approaches like DBT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy to help clients build emotional regulation, self-trust, and a stronger sense of direction. She meets clients where they are, while also gently challenging them toward where they can go.

Background & Experience
Tara’s work has always centered on helping people move through transitions. She began in the collegiate space, supporting emerging adults in building emotional, social, and executive functioning skills for life beyond school. At EDGE Learning and Wellness, she co-developed an executive functioning intensive, created a neurodiversity-affirming social skills curriculum, and built career partnerships that connected clients to real-world opportunities.

She also brings experience from clinical mental health, where she has facilitated identity-affirming groups for LGBTQ+ individuals and supported adults navigating a wide variety of neurodiversity and behavioral health challenges.
