Great to meet you!

Nice to Meet You

Hi, I’m Tammy! I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, hope, and practical support. My journey into mental health began with caring for my grandparents and raising my family, experiences that taught me the value of resilience, connection, and the belief that growth is possible even during difficult times. I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, family or personal challenges, feeling stuck, or struggling to find joy and motivation.

My approach to therapy

I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, believing that a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect is the foundation for meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify goals that are important to you and create a plan that aligns with your values. I incorporate evidence-based tools such as emotion regulation skills, cognitive restructuring, and goal-setting strategies to help you develop insight, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will be a warm and welcoming opportunity to begin building our therapeutic relationship. We will discuss your history, current challenges, and what you hope to accomplish through therapy. Together, we will identify your goals, explore areas of focus, and begin developing a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.
