Facing My Prematurely Empty Nest
The Crushing Sense of Loss When my only child—my ten-year-old daughter—left for boarding school many years ago, it took me three whole months before I could even bring myself to face the devastating sense of …
I'm Tara
Let's get to the Heart of the Matter
Everyone dreams of living together happily-ever-after, but in reality, there are many ups and downs in every marriage. In my experience, many ongoing problems in a relationship can be sorted out without any outside help—if we are self-aware, ready to put in the work & know how to speak and listen to each other from the heart, with vulnerability and honesty.
But this is not an easy task, and that’s where I come in—serving as a neutral bridge between both partners and providing a helping hand for carefully untangling the knots, resolving conflicts, repairing past injuries and cultivating a heart-centred bond. During the process of couples therapy, I work jointly as well as individually with each partner, to ensure the work we do together is deep and long lasting.
As a Buddhist Psychologist, Yoga practitioner (certified teacher) and longstanding meditator, I specialize in holistic, integrative psychotherapy grounded in Buddhist & Yoga Philosophy—a compassionate yet practical lens for understanding our ego-based patterns, which lie at the root of our suffering in relationships and in life.
I use scientifically-backed Western methods—such as Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems—along with Heart-Centered Communication Coaching in my work, tailoring my approach and tool-kit to match the unique needs of every client.
I work online with couples as well as individuals worldwide. Explore the website and get in touch if you would like to work with me.

What Clients Have to Say ...
(Client names have been shared only for couples who were comfortable doing so)
Tara , we can't thank you enough! We are both back together after our separation as we could work things out between us on the basis of your analysis & guidance, we now know our limitations as a couple & are working to make our relationship better. We will have to say none of this would have been possible without your counseling. I hope couples in trouble find you & eventually find themselves. In fact, the questions in the questionnaire made us think about ourselves & our lives ahead & had a lasting impact. Thank you again!
Working with Tara has been an insightful journey after 7 years of marriage. We are based in U.S.A & reached out to her after not being able to resolve our issues —after just a few online sessions we started sensing a change in our communication patterns! Tara is super-observant, she is able to break down complex emotions and points you in the direction of empathy & healing, while providing tools to strengthen the relationship along with a lot of positive reinforcement. Tara is a master of her craft... do not hesitate to reach out to her. You are in safe hands.
Tara not only helped us resolve our issue at hand but also helped us individually. There are so many layers of a person's feelings one needs to work upon and it seems Tara knows it all instinctively. We are grateful we met her, she has helped us so much and is continuing to do so.
Tara is a great mentor. She is very passionate and experienced in her work. We were able to discuss our personal issues with her when we needed unbiased advice regarding our marriage the most.
