Hi, I’m Tamara. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I’m glad you’re beginning your therapy journey here. I’ve worked in the social work field for 13 years, primarily in hospice and end-of-life care, as well as grief counseling. In my clinical practice, I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, terminal illness, caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, and many other challenges.
I believe every life moves through many seasons—some that feel heavy, isolating, or overwhelming. My goal is to walk with you through those seasons, side by side, at your pace, offering support, understanding, and a safe space for healing.

I work with adults who feel capable on paper but stuck in practice. Maybe you’ve tried apps, planners, or willpower to manage focus and stress, and it hasn’t lasted. My clients are women 30–50, high-stress professionals, and adults with nontraditional schedules who want steadier energy, reliable follow-through, and routines that fit real life. I’m ADHD-informed and culturally responsive, so we design systems that work with your brain and context, not against them.

If you feel discouraged in becoming a better person, know that there is a way to find balance; to be compassionate toward ourselves while staying accountable for personal change. But sometimes we need support. I help by giving clients a space to acknowledge and accept what's happened to them, the guidance to learn how to finally feel their emotions, and to learn to love and trust themselves.

The ideal client is one that is willing to work in session and practice out of session. I work best with clients that are willing to be honest and raw with me. I respect someone that can voice their truest thoughts/feelings/and behaviors because I will be equally direct with my identification of distortions in their thoughts and actions. The greatest acceptance of ourselves can only be achieved with an honest look inward. This honesty allows us see what strengths we desire to build and what needs we can reduce. With this direct, loving, and accepting approach, the counseling process can be maximized in its efficacy.

Sometimes the mind moves on while the body still feels stuck in survival. You may look functional on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, reactive, numb, overwhelmed, or unable to fully settle. Therapy here is not about forcing yourself to “just talk about it” or pushing through what your nervous system has been carrying alone.
My work is deeply trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential. I specialize in approaches that help access and process the deeper parts of the brain and nervous system where trauma, emotional pain, and protective patterns are often held.

My practice is designed for individuals and families navigating complex medical, emotional, and systemic challenges. Many of my clients come to me during times of transition, uncertainty, or crisis. They may be managing chronic or life-altering health conditions, facing transplant-related decisions, or struggling to navigate the overwhelming realities of healthcare systems. Others arrive feeling unheard, misunderstood, or marginalized within spaces that were meant to support them.
Often, what brings clients through my doors is not just the weight of their circumstances, but the accumulation of barriers they have had to face alone.

How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
