Great to meet you!

Tamar specializes in children, families, and contextual systems. Tamar has extensive experience working with children and adults who present with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, relationships and family conflict, as well as with the elderly, caregivers, and those with chronic pain. Tamar helps facilitate the healing process by working to establish therapeutic relationships and empowering others to be the best versions of themselves.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Tamar believes emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated; therapy works when both of us are committed to your healing. Once we can understand the root of an issue, we can determine how to move forward. Tamar has seen enough times that small steps in the right direction end up being the biggest steps in the end; and once you can understand the root of an issue, you can determine how to move forward.

What you can expect from our first session

Tamar will help you learn how to better manage symptoms and responses, look at situations differently so you can feel differently about them, and learn skills to communicate and create boundaries more effectively. Tamar invites you to connect and discuss further.
