About Tamara

She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and life changes that include career shifts and grief. Tamara also lists Guilt and shame as a focus and supports people navigating issues around identity and sexuality, including LGBT concerns and questions about gender.
Her sessions are client-centered, which means she listens first and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term change.
Tamara has experience supporting people who have lived with trauma and abuse, and she addresses related challenges like addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and depression. She also works with practical family matters such as blended family issues, caregiving stress, divorce and separation, and fatherhood questions. Topics tied to sexuality and alternative practices, including BDSM and kink, are included among her areas of focus.
Her style is interactive and conversational. Sessions include talking through choices, trying simple skills in session, and planning manageable next steps between sessions. Tamara avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on respect and direct problem solving.
People interested in beginning can expect clear conversation about goals, an exploration of what has and hasn’t helped, and practical strategies they can use between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tamara draws heavily on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what the client finds most important and the therapist reflects and follows those concerns. Cognitive behavioral work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their experience without judgment and to develop simple present-moment skills for anxiety, shame, or strong moods. These approaches suit concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and guilt because they combine focused talk with skills practice and brief experiments between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Tamara will work with each person to see whether more CBT skill practice, mindfulness exercises, or client-led conversation fits their goals. She helps set clear aims and checks progress so adjustments can be made together.
