She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

She views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in real-world goals. Tami talks through what is happening now, teaches coping tools, and helps clients try new ways of reacting to difficult situations. Her background includes long-term work with people recovering from narcissistic abuse and those managing panic, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, communication problems, guilt and shame, and process addictions such as pornography or gambling. Tami uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide interventions and shape treatment plans. She keeps things straightforward and practical, often assigning small tasks between sessions to reinforce progress.
People appreciate a calm, steady approach when feelings escalate or life changes feel unmanageable. Tami focuses on building skills that become part of daily life rather than relying on long technical explanations. If someone wants clear steps and steady encouragement, she offers that kind of support.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Tami's work. One common approach uses skills training to manage strong emotions and anxiety. That means learning short, practical tools you can use when panic or stress rises and practicing them between sessions to build confidence.Another approach focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people process past hurts at a pace that feels tolerable. This method emphasizes safety, stabilizing reactions, and gradual exposure to painful memories so they become less disruptive in daily life.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, try approaches that match your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. You and the therapist decide together which techniques feel helpful and which to change.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can help with quick check-ins or brief support between meetings. These options let people work on anxiety and stress without rearranging their whole day.
