As humans, we sometimes avoid our more complex emotions and hope they will disappear. However, more often than not, the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in less-than-ideal ways. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

Human first and psychologist second, Dr. Tasca practices using a psychodynamic, attachment-based framework, balancing careful listening with thoughtful probing. She brings attention to the therapeutic process and encourages discussion in the "here and now". Although she is rooted in psychodynamic treatment, Dr. Tasca integrates CBT, DBT, and ACT/mindfulness-based strategies to help you cope in your day-to-day.

​

Dr. Tasca believes that the relationship between patient and therapist lies at the heart of effective therapy. She strives to bring her authentic self into the room and to create a warm, comfortable space where clients can explore both their inner lives and external experiences. She believes that a shared laugh can be just as meaningful and therapeutic as an “aha” moment.

Dr. Tasca is often described as warm and insightful, gentle yet direct, and actively engaged in the therapeutic process. She wholeheartedly believes in the power of high-quality psychotherapy and is deeply committed to the well-being and therapeutic growth of those she works with.
