Sometimes life is hard, and it can feel like too much to handle alone. I may not have experienced exactly what you’re going through, but I’m here to listen. My name is Tamara, and I view therapy as a collaborative effort where I support you on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. My goal is to help you create and pursue a life you want that honors your values, allows you to embrace your authentic self, enhance your personal relationships, and experience more joy.

As human beings, we often confuse self-defeating thoughts or behaviors that stem from historical trauma and fears with who we are as individuals and as a result we may inadvertently and unfortunately reinforce them. I guide my clients in stepping beyond ingrained thinking and emotional patterns that have become so familiar that they often go unrecognized. Together, we can uncover these patterns, so you are able to make choices that resonate more deeply with your true self.

Therapy is most helpful when we can explore our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. I focus on creating a warm and empathetic space where you can feel heard and understood.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s needs. My approach is strengths-based and client centered. I often work from an emotionally focused, attachment-based, humanistic lens and I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches and trauma-informed care. 

I work with individuals and partnerships facing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I am here to help you build your resilience, develop coping strategies, gain insight, and achieve your personal goals. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you’d like to schedule a session.
