Hello, I'm Tamara! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a genuine passion for nurturing clients' holistic well-being and catalyzing growth. My approach is intentionally grounded in fostering a real, supportive, and honest therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. My own experiences of both failure and success allow me to serve with integrity, humility, and empathy. While I have over ten years of experience in the counseling field and am trained in various counseling techniques, I recognize that you are the expert on your own life. I honor each individual's unique lived experience and intersecting identities. I am committed to being a partner in your journey toward becoming your best, healthiest self.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions, review your background, and discuss how therapy works. We’ll also explore the specific challenges you're currently facing. This will help us create goals for treatment and develop a plan to guide our work together in future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am intentional about showing up as my best self for clients at all times. My strength lies in my ability to balance speaking truth with exercising humility, understanding that the client is the expert in our relationship. I bring authenticity into our sessions, staying true to myself while creating a space for growth. My therapeutic process emphasizes recognizing strengths and fostering introspection for self-development and awareness. Additionally, I believe that therapists need therapists too. I actively engage in my own therapy to ensure I remain grounded and effective in my role. This personal commitment to my own well-being enhances my ability to support you through life's intricacies, helping you find resolve or manage challenges with greater ease.

I tailor therapeutic interventions in the context of a client's unique trauma history, triggers, and specific needs. Our sessions emphasize safety, collaboration, and empowerment.
Faith based therapy
For clients who share a Christian faith, I am also a believer and can integrate therapy with a faith-based approach, incorporating biblical principles and the love of Christ to support your healing and growth. My approach is grounded in compassion, integrity, and respect for your unique journey. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges, while honoring your personal beliefs and experiences.
