Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi! I’m Tamara and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 30 years. I have had a wonderfully varied career working with people of all ages and with all types of issues.
The first thing to know about me is that I believe in change. I facilitate it, I see it everyday, and I myself experience it. When we are struggling to find our way, it is often hard to remember that change is a constant – it is the one thing we can count on! The tricky thing about change is that it can be very scary – we as humans like to know what is going to happen and how we can prepare for it! Life often just doesn’t give a heads up – so each of us need to have the skills within to cope, and thrive, when change arrives. Counseling with me helps discover and strengthen those skills – all within a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship!
Because people are different, I have a variety of treatment options in my counseling practice that is tailored to specific needs. I have training in Client Centered Therapy, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma and Motivational Interviewing to name just a few. At the base of all these theories is the relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship is paramount to successful outcomes – I believe clients need to feel heard, supported and validated.
I love my work, I love helping people change and feel better, and most importantly, I love connecting with clients. Hope we work together soon!

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they would like a different fit. For many people, the combination of evidence-backed effectiveness and scheduling convenience makes online therapy a practical option to consider.
