LMHC, 20 years of experience
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal and grow. I specialize in substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, family conflict, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that empowers clients to overcome struggles and lead more fulfilling lives. I use a flexible, eclectic approach that draws from CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each person where they are. Together, we’ll work to heal past wounds and build a healthier, more meaningful future.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and exploring what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your history, current challenges, and goals so we can begin creating a plan that feels right for you. This is a safe, judgment-free space where you are welcome to share at your own pace.
I believe that healing from the past is essential to creating a brighter, more fulfilling future. It would be an honor to support you in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and achieving your personal goals.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while using an eclectic approach to meet clients where they are.

I honestly wish I started therapy with Tami sooner. She helped me make sense to myself. Just after one session I feel 100 more times educated on what I have been going through and encountering pretty much most of my life. Tami gave voice to what I was feeling and helped me identify it. I am a verbose person and she had so much patience for me.

My first appointment with Tami went better than I imagined. She was super nice and really did have an ear for what I had to say. Going forward, we already have plans and solutions to work out what I’m going through and I’m very excited to continue working her her.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. I support clients in developing healthier thinking styles and coping strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I also incorporate structured interventions such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and cognitive restructuring to promote lasting emotional and behavioral change.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use an eclectic approach to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy. This flexible method allows me to integrate tools and techniques that best support my clients’ goals, preferences, and presenting issues throughout the therapeutic process.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence toward change in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. I guide clients to identify their own reasons for change by eliciting "change talk" and reinforcing their intrinsic motivation. By using reflective listening, open-ended questions, and affirmations, I support clients in building confidence and commitment to their goals.
I use Person-Centered Therapy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. By offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity, I help clients tap into their inner strengths and move toward personal growth and self-awareness.
