Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been actively providing Therapy Services since the year 2015, however I collaboratively have over 18 years of experience in my many roles within the Social Services field working with adults, families and children. I will operate with the intention to support and empower individuals to reach their desired goals. I provide a person centered environment, in which self- determination is encouraged, modeled and commended. I engage others with warmth, respect and positive regard.
I received my undergrad degree in Social Work at Herbert Lehman College located in Bronx, New York, which was where I was introduced to the Social Work Relationship Principles of Felix Biestek. The late Felix Biestek, a Priest, Professor and Author of The Casework Relationship. Chicago: Loyola, 1957, developed 7 Social Work Principles and the following principles sets the standard for my purposeful interactions with others: (1) Individualism- Recognizing that each youth has his/her own unique qualities. (2)Purposeful Expression of Feelings- Recognizing the persons’ need to express his/her feelings freely. (3)Controlled Emotional Involvement- Sensitivity to a person’s feelings and having an appropriate response. (4)Acceptance – Seeing the person where he/she is at including strengths and weaknesses, so that the person can feel safe to reveal him/herself and have self -awareness. This will help the person take a realistic approach to deal with barriers. (5)Non Judgmental Attitude – Not making someone feel guilty or persecuted because of their situation and/or problem. (6)Self- Determination – The right and the need for one to freely be involved in making their own choices and decisions in the helping process. (7)Confidentiality- Is a person’s right! Confidentiality is broken only when the person signs a statement for release of information to others, the court orders confidential records, or when the person is in danger to himself or others.
I will operate in your best interest, in an effort to understand any/all barriers that may be causing a disruption in the home, at school, at work as well as in the community that impairs your social functioning.

Tarsha works in the client’s best interest to identify and address barriers that may be disrupting functioning at home, at school, at work, or within the community. Her background across social services settings informs a practical, compassionate approach to challenges such as family conflict, trauma, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, mood disorders, and other life transitions.
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. It can be a practical option for those seeking support for these kinds of issues.
One key benefit is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist in the format that best fits their needs and schedule, choosing between video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life without sacrificing continuity of care.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist if they feel a change would be a better fit. Online therapy aims to offer accessible, professional support while accommodating different communication preferences and logistical constraints.
