Hello there : ) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have been practicing for 12 years. I create confidential, non-judgmental, and safe space for you to unpack your thoughts and process your feelings about whatever is causing you to feel sad, stuck, angry, or confused. It is a privilege to be a part of your journey of healing.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session I am getting to know you. I tend to ask questions about your current symptoms, your background, past trauma, and what natural supports you may already have. How did you cope with hard situations in the past? What is different this time? I strive to obtain a holistic picture of you to see how I can best assist.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am plain spoken, have a good sense of humor, and help people feel at ease.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am positioned to serve clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, or grief.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Your thoughts affect your feelings, your feelings inform your actions, and your actions determine how you show up in the world. I create space for you to think about what you are thinking about. By doing so you can better identify possible thought distortions and make more helpful choices.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

We will work together from the strengths you already possess to come up with possible solutions to current problems. This form of therapy concentrates on what is happening now and faces forward to the future you wish to have.

Grief Therapy

I support you as you cope with loss. This can be the loss of anyone or anything that was important to you and you are grieving its absence.

Christian Counseling

While I am not a theologian, I can offer support from a Christian based perspective.

I always look forward to my talks with Tamara! <3 She gives me space to discuss what's on my mind. She's engaged, thoughtful and intentional when she responds. Even when I show up without knowing exactly what to discuss, we still end up having a deep and meaningful conversation. The way she listens to my experiences and asks questions makes me feel seen :') she's kind, calm, funny, challenging, a joy to talk to, I could go on and on .... <3
