Hi there and welcome. My name is Tammy and I am a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I find verbal processing invaluable when sorting out life's challenges, making decisions and setting goals. I take an eclectic approach to counseling; focusing on self-awareness, acceptance, purposefulness, growth and personal development. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family & parenting, marriage, depression and anxiety. I hope our work together will edify, encourage and bring comfort to your heart. I look forward to meeting you soon.

I have been meeting with Tammy on and off for the past year and a half. She is just wonderful. I truly feel comfortable and safe with her, and genuinely look forward to my sessions with her. Not only is she a great listener - she is thoughtful, honest, supportive, helpful, and asks great questions. I requested a therapist with a Christian background, and really appreciate and love how Tammy weaves prayer into our sessions and places the focus on God.
