"We fight so hard to avoid our suffering, when in the end the avoidance is far more painful than the suffering itself."
About Tara
I was born and raised in Billings, Montana, where I developed a deep love for the outdoors and the beauty of our state. Life took me to Southern California for a time, where I began my teaching career, met my husband, and started our family. Eventually, we returned to Billings to raise our four children surrounded by family and familiar roots.
Everything changed when my husband passed away unexpectedly after nearly 20 years of marriage. Overnight, I found myself navigating profound grief while raising four children on my own. I felt overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure how to move forward—until a friend introduced me to Aspen’s Angels and the Grief Recovery Method.
That experience was truly life-changing. I discovered practical tools that helped me not only begin to heal but also support my children and strengthen our relationships. I knew this was something I wanted to share with others.
Today, I’m honored to serve as an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I work with individuals and groups—both in person and virtually—to support people through all types of loss: death, divorce, transitions, childhood pain, or simply the invisible weight of unspoken grief.
If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or just ready for a shift, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you prefer a group setting, one-on-one sessions, or connecting virtually, I’d be honored to walk beside you as you begin your healing journey.
