I believe that despite a person who has family/ friends to consult with, that the value of therapy is having an objective person's eyes and ears on your struggles and that the process can help you move forward when you are feeling "stuck." Identifying your strengths and ideal solutions are part of a treatment plan that helps us stay focused and determine how effective therapy is in your life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy mode I use to discover what thoughts, feelings and belief systems are at play in feeling "stuck," and produces new ideas about approaching your issues. I am now very excited about implementing the use of a fairly new mode of therapy known as "ACT" that stands for "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". People walk through this self-discovery process not because it's easy, but to feel better, lighter and more effective in navigating their lives. For the best therapeutic outcome, there needs to be trust and respect between the client and the therapist. I encourage any and all questions to see if we could be a good fit!
I have recently decided to add to my bio by specifically letting potential clients know that most of my professional career as a therapist has been in working with sex offenders, their families and victims, as well as having expertise in domestic violence issues.
Additionally, (and on a bigger scale as these issues are becoming more pervasive now that the pattern is clearly identified), I am working very hard with individual clients experiencing Narcissistic Abuse. There seems to be a growing need for attention to these specific problems and a need for a professional who has a lot of experience in addressing these issues. It should also be noted that if someone is in need of sex offender therapy, they must have successfully completed a legally recognized program first.
In my private time I enjoy growing organic gardens and cooking with the results, playing outdoors in every season- skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and love playing and hiking with my new dog (rescue), Blue. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to discover healthier and more authentic ways of relating to people, but especially ourselves.

After four months of being in therapy with Tami, I want to thank her and recommend her very highly.
Tammy taught me so much about myself.
She listens with great interest, understands me, reflects my experiences and presents me with options for self-care during and after the meeting.
The confidence I feel in the treatment with Tami allows me to make changes for the better in my life.
She helps me understand the things that hold me back in life and find ways to deal with them.
During the treatment and with Tammy's support, I removed from my life the friends and colleagues who held me back and made room for new/old people who are good to me.
Tammy also supports me in dealing with a narcissistic mother.
She presented me with options for self-care that I carry out with great success.
I wait for treatment every week with great anticipation. I see very rapid progress in dealing with my life in all areas.

Tamra has been a wonderful therapist, able to help and point out things that are very difficult to recognize on my own. She is professional, knowledgeable, and honest. I appreciate the tools that she has helped me with, sending videos and information that helps me understand more psychology. Thank you Tamra
