Hi there, I'm Tamara!

I specialize in trauma processing and trauma-informed care. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have gained experience providing services to those who have identified troubles due to mental health and also struggled with addiction.

My focus

While my previous work experience has an emphasis on trauma and addiction, I am also comfortable working with issues such as depression, anxiety, and anger management. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, and I find the modalities I use give the individual control over the session.

My approach

I like to use an eclectic approach when it comes to treatment modalities because I believe that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to therapy. Modalities I am comfortable using include Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and working from a person- and client-centered approach.
