Hi,
I’m Tamara!
in Nevada
Sometimes you feel an emotional pain that is so deep you can’t find words to express it…
The weight of those unspoken emotions can easily become overwhelming and heavy, leaving us feeling alone and isolated. You may show that things are well, but inside it feels a mess.
People often tell me that they “don’t want to be a burden”, so they stay quiet, and suffer alone.
Thoughts that “it’s all in my head” or “others have it worse than me” stem from fear, shame or embarrassment that pushes the pain deeper until life becomes numb and joyless.
I hear you…
Feeling misunderstood, disconnected and lonely is real. It’s a silent struggle you don’t have to overcome alone.
… within that silent struggle, true healing can begin
I’m a licensed therapist with several years of experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I’ve worked in government, therapy agencies, higher education, k to 12 schools. I’m trained in several therapies including EMDR for kids & teens.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling, meaningful and happy life regardless of life experiences, emotions or health. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping others in the process of healing and being a companion in this journey. To me, it is a privilege to hold a private space for others where there is no judgement and is safe to overcome emotional pain.
We all have the capacity for healing and growth, even when it feels out of reach.
The journey to healing shouldn’t be lonely.
I believe that therapy should be engaging & non-threatening!
My approach to therapy combines the depth of talk therapy with the grounding power of nature-based therapy to support creative learning and self discovery
I work well with clients interested in:
Traditional therapy, nature based therapy, or a combination of both
Whether it’s EMDR, DBT, CBT or nature based therapy, the process is about what works for you.
Holistic mental wellness
Therapeutic wellness workshops help regain a balanced state of mind when days feel heavy and life is stressful.
A collaborative journey, not just a quick fix being told what to do.
Learn resilience tools to overcome any challenges that may arise in the future. Otherwise you’re in therapy forever!
Alternative ways to gain insight and develop skills
There are several evidenced based therapies that help reach emotional wellness and a balanced lifestyle. I’m trained to use EMDR (including teens & kids), DBT, CBT, CPT, Unified Protocol, TFCBT and Therapeutic Horticulture. No therapy is a one-size fits all.
Engage in a process that is inspiring and less intimidating
My approach in therapy aims to feel natural and comfortable, with each session leading to discovering a part of yourself that invigorates to keep moving forward.
Explore paths to personal growth.
Find meaning and self-compassion as success, failures and changes in life shape your thoughts and emotions.
What is it like to work together?
Come home… literally
Once a home, my office is located in a house turned into office spaces, giving our sessions the comfortable feel of a living room.
I provide therapy and workshops in English or Spanish, in-person or online and the frequency of appointments depend on your unique situation.
Hours are by appointment only, Monday through Thursday starting in the late afternoon.
The Process of Therapy
How it starts:
Let’s Connect
We start where you’d like to begin. Whether it’s learning about each other or sharing your story, we’ll have a comfortable conversation in a space to safely open up.
Life so far
Therapy is a wonderful process that leads to discover the unexpected and seeing your life in a new way. I refer to this process as ‘peeling the onion’. We take one layer off at a time, getting to the core and chopping it up! When we finish peeling the onion, all those layers of doubt, fear and other difficult emotions will be gone.
Journey to Wellness
Sometimes we know the life we want, but can you envision it? Often starting with a blurry vision of your future, we’ll work together to shape it and make it real. I’ll be your support and guide in nourishing your inner strength to reach what you envision.
Final Thoughts & Conclusion
Reaching the end of therapy means living the life you envisioned and it is time to celebrate you! The conclusion of therapy is a time that reflects the hidden strengths you’ve always had, but now they shine. And with a renewed sense of purpose and control, our journey ends as you now write a new chapter of a happier life.
