About Me

Your counseling time with me is a safe space for you to grow and to heal and most importantly, to be you. Beautiful you. Just as you are.

My therapy style is warm and empathetic. I approach the therapy process from a place of compassion, unwavering patience, and a desire to understand your journey and how you got to where you are. Together we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. If you are hurting, I encourage you to trust the counseling process, give yourself some grace, and keep an open mind. Even the strongest of souls can use a bit of support from time to time. I am so happy you are here today!

I have over 8 years experience with the LGBTQ+ community, including gender-minority life experiences.

I have over a decade of experience working in case management with adults on the Autism spectrum and with Asperger's disorder. I am comfortable in conversations where my clients may need extra time to find their words.

An amazing listener and truly tries to understand her patients and their needs. Never pushes other therapies if patient isnt interested in those outlets and tries to find alternatives to fit their needs! They make their patients feel heard and will ask questions to further clarify as a way to better understand the situation/thought processes of patient.

Tamara took time to read my intake and suggested a therapist who is trained in a specific area of need.

She has been a knowledgeable and caring confidant for me in a time that has been fairly dark and confusing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional listening ear to talk through your own troubles!

Tamara is the best counselor/therapist I've ever had and I've had quite a few. She's so understanding and non judgemental! She's helped me more in a month than all of my past therapists combined. She has a wealth of knowledge that I am beyond thankful for. She has greatly improved my life already.

Tamara has been amazing to work with. She is very knowledgeable and empathetic. I feel very comfortable working with her. Honestly I feel extremely fortunate to be given the chance to work with such a dedicated professional when mental healthcare is so difficult to find in my area.

She’s awesome

Written by C.U. on Apr 02, 2021 after therapy with Tamara for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

I've had two phone counseling sessions with Tamara and they have been extremely low stress and pleasant. She has an absolute wealth of knowledge on how to approach the various issues I've been seeking help for and is an extremely comforting and calm therapist to speak to. She has also offered me worksheets and given me things to think about throughout the weeks and these have helped me progress immensely. I thought talking to someone about my mental health would be extremely stressful and upsetting, but with Tamara it hasn't been, and even my most emotional conversations left me feelings more free than worked up. She is extremely talented and caring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else struggling with issues similar to my own.
