Christian Life Coach based in Houston Texas. Loving wife and owner of cat.
Meet Tara: Text
Tara lives in Houston with her husband, John and completely crazy cat, Chloe.
With a background in communication and ministry, Tara has been helping others process and articulate ideas for the past decade.
Tara grew up in a nondenominational church in Houston. Having a heart for missions from an early age and a growing passion for writing, she pursued a degree in journalism and missions at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri her freshman year. She later transferred to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, where she gained her degree in journalism and extensive experience in writing for the SHSU Communications Department and the local newspaper, the Huntsville Item.
Meet Tara: Quote
During her time at SHSU, she became very involved in student ministry. She went through a semester long training to become a small group leader and learned how to evangelize and successfully lead young women to Jesus. She developed a tremendous heart for discipleship during this time.
After graduating, Tara worked as the Event/Volunteer Coordinator or a nonprofit agency aiding victims of domestic violence and abuse. She executed massive fundraising events and trained numerous community volunteers to serve within the agency. She also taught classes on domestic violence and sexual assault in the community.
Still having a heart for college women, she transitioned into full time campus ministry, where she remained over the following six years. It was during this time that she met and married her husband, John.
In 2013, Tara started showing strange symptoms and began a difficult health journey. In recent years, she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and other various chronic conditions. Her daily struggle is a balancing act of hope for complete healing and contentment with God’s faithfulness in the little things. The experience has given her great compassion and empathy for people in pain.
Meet Tara: Welcome
Needing a different pace of life, she and her husband stepped out of campus ministry and into a different kind of ministry…the marketplace. John currently works as an accountant and Tara stepped into freelance writing and publishing with her dad. John and Tara are also actively serving their church.
Over the years, Tara has noticed a growing desire to help people process difficulty. In ministry, she worked with women crippled with anxiety, fear, insecurity…led by their emotions instead of a steady relationship with Jesus. Having walked through some difficult highs and lows of ministry, health, and transition, she wanted to continue helping others walking through similar things. This is when coaching came to her attention. Five different friends recommended that she look into it and in 2019, she got certified as a Life Coach through the Life Breakthrough Academy. She’s been in love with it ever since.
Coaching combines so many things that Tara is passionate about: navigating difficulty, processing change, securing identity in Christ, calming the emotional chaos, and finding solutions that work for clients so that they truly can walk in freedom…she’s found it to be an incredibly rewarding profession.
