About me

Hi! I'm Tamara and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 30 years. I have had a wonderfully varied career working with people of all ages and with all types of issues.

The first thing to know about me is that I believe in change. I facilitate it, I see it everyday, and I myself experience it. When we are struggling to find our way, it is often hard to remember that change is a constant - it is the one thing we can count on! The tricky thing about change is that it can be very scary - we as humans like to know what is going to happen and how we can prepare for it! Life often just doesn't give a heads up - so each of us need to have the skills within to cope, and thrive, when change arrives. Counseling with me helps discover and strengthen those skills - all within a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship!

Because people are different, I have a variety of treatment options in my counseling practice that is tailored to specific needs. I have training in Client Centered Therapy, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma and Motivational Interviewing to name just a few. At the base of all these theories is the relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship is paramount to successful outcomes - I believe clients need to feel heard, supported and validated.

I love my work, I love helping people change and feel better, and most importantly, I love connecting with clients. Hope we work together soon!

Tamara is really the best. I'm very thankful to have met her and the work we have done together for almost a year now. She's been always there for me and I appreciate her greatly.

Never enough stars for Tamara! I always look forward to our easy chats, words of comfort and encouragement and most often lots of laughs too.

Tamara has been an absolutely vital part of my recovery process and has helped me to find tools to navigate my anxiety and depression and most importantly has taught me to be kind to myself. I am so grateful to her for her kindness and expertise and couldn’t recommend her more for anyone struggling and needing help.
