About Dara
Her approach is tailored to each person. Sessions look at patterns that keep someone stuck and at small changes that make daily life easier. She pays attention to how relationships, past losses, and identity shape current struggles.
Dara combines straightforward talk with skills for coping and regulation. She uses tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people manage symptoms and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.
Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with major life transitions and complex grief.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Dara aims to help people notice small shifts, strengthen communication, and make choices that match their values. Prospective clients in Oregon can expect practical guidance alongside emotional exploration.
