I specialize in working with woman; especially women of color; who appears confident but silently battles anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion from navigating spaces where she feels unseen. She’s weighed down by perfectionism and unresolved wounds, longing for peace and authenticity. She needs a safe, nonjudgmental space to take off the mask, tools to manage anxiety, and permission to prioritize her well-being. Her goal is to feel whole, reclaim her voice, and live unapologetically. She seeks therapy not because she’s broken, but because she’s ready to break free and thrive. Please schedule with me directly on my website.

You may appear successful on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted.

I work with high-achieving professionals, caregivers, and individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, and relational stress. Therapy focuses on understanding emotional patterns, strengthening coping skills, and reducing distress to support greater emotional stability and well-being.

I help people who feel stuck see what is true so they can take the action that sets them free. Sometimes we are afraid to admit that the answer to change lies within ourselves, rather than being dependent on changes in other people.
What most helps is a sense of complete ownership of what's happening in our life, not as blame or self-recrimination - and not to excuse anyone else's behavior - but as a powerful step to change what we can change!
The false belief that keeps us stuck is that we are powerless to change our emotions, responses, or circumstances. I will help you.

I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun! The client that wants to get to the root of the pain, hurt, awkwardness, craziness, sadness, the list goes on is a great match with Ms. Tam. The client that also pulls from hope, spirit, experience, the unknown is a match with me. Its helpful for the client to remain open throughout at least 3-6 sessions after the assessment in order to fully rate symptom change.

When thinking of your dream life, it involves happiness, purpose, friendships, success, and everything else you've wished for. No matter how hard you try sometimes we're just let down, and life can start crumbling down around us. We can get pulled and pushed in many ways and may feel as if sometimes we have no control over anything. Activities we once enjoyed seem like a task, maintaining relationships become draining, and the best part of the day becomes the end. You deserve to be seen, heard, validated, and supported without judgment. We need reminders that our life has value just by being the unique individual you are.

You’re the strong one. The capable one. The one everyone relies on. But something has shifted. A relationship ended. A marriage changed. A promotion, engagement, new baby, move, or loss altered the ground beneath you. You’re still functioning, but inside you feel overwhelmed, untethered, or unsure who you are in this new season. Major life changes, even positive ones, can bring anxiety, grief, and identity questions. You may be grieving a partner, a future you imagined, or the version of yourself who once felt steady and certain.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed—carrying the weight of past trauma, managing daily pressures, or struggling to feel like themselves. They want a space where they don’t have to be perfect, where they can be open, heard, and not judged. They’re seeking healing, peace, and a deeper understanding of themselves—for their own well-being and for the people they love.

My passion is working with the unique challenges faced by emerging adults & adults dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Specializing in emerging adults (18-30), I recognize the pivotal stage of life that this demographic represents, transitioning into adulthood and facing complex emotional and psychological changes. I work further with middle-aged adults (30-50) on adult-specific struggles such as feeling overwhelmed, navigating adult ADHD & autism, and healing long-ignored traumas. Finally, I'm trained in Brainspotting to help clients work through trauma, anxiety, mental blocks, overthinking, & negative emotions.

Hi! I'm really glad you're here. Therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you're use to being the "strong one" for everyone else. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming, judgement-free space where you can simply be. I believe healing doesn't happen in polished, perfect moments, it happens in quiet, messy, honest spaces the ones we often hide. The "I'm fine" moments that aren't actually fine. You don't need the right words or a plan. Just come as you are. We'll move at your place, making space for real, meaningful change. You don't have to do this alone.

Life’s journey can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk it alone.

My main goal in a couple, family, or individual setting is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore and address their relational challenges. I can help individuals who want to manage stress, anxiety, and depression navigate life transitions such as career changes and relationship challenges, cope with trauma and grief, enhance self-esteem/self-awareness, and address behavioral or emotional issues. As a result of the work that I do, clients often gain insight, develop coping strategies, build resilience, stop unwanted repetitive patterns, and achieve a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
