Tammy is very professional and very easy to talk to even if it's just telling stories from your past or about your day.

After the first session, Tammy made sure I had resources til the next appointment and helped me set up goals. That approach has helped me a lot as I go between sessions!

Tammy has been such a huge help thus far- I have spoken with other therapists and I feel she has been a perfect fit for myself. I look forward to our sessions and get excited when she sends me worksheets to complete (they’re super helpful and very always relevant to what I’m feeling or going through). Grateful to have her in my corner!
