Hi, I’m Tamar. I take a calm, grounded approach to therapy, using reflective listening to help you gain personal insight and engage in meaningful self-exploration. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I see my role as a supportive guide and resource along the way. My style is laid-back and down-to-earth—I listen first, speak second. I also incorporate psychoeducation, somatic techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions to support healing and growth in practical, accessible ways.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over 9 years of experience providing compassionate and effective counseling services. Letting someone in and seeking support is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. I truly believe that we all carry inner wisdom but at times that voice can be difficult to hear. A strong therapeutic relationship can help bring that wisdom to the surface so that it stays with you long after therapy ends.

Welcome and Congratulations on the decision to take this next step toward a better you! Counseling is designed to be a unique setting where a person, family or couple is able to reflect on their experiences within a safe environment. When people are able to feel truly supported in therapy they work towards self-actualization and meaning. My general goal during therapy is to meet client’s where they are at while asking tough questions and challenging client’s existing mental conceptions. My overall approach is to be actively engaged with each client to promote healing, growth and recovery.

I tailor my approach to your strengths and areas of growth in the context of your unique circumstances and goals. We are in this together and I am honored to walk alongside your journey.
