We are committed to keeping our clients safe and healthy.
Teletherapy is available for all sessions, and beginning June 1, 2021,
office visits will be available for clients with proof of vaccination.
Welcome!
The first step in your journey to health and happiness can be the hardest one to take.
It takes courage to reach out in search of support.
Sometimes staying “stuck” in old patterns can be scarier than taking those first steps forward.
Brené Brown said “When we deny the story, it defines us.
When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending.”
I’m here to help you write your new ending. Thank you for visiting!
How can I help you?
SERVICES
TELETHERAPY
Phone and video appointments are available by request. With busy schedules, traffic, kids, COVID, and all the things that make appointments hard to keep, teletherapy can work well. You can keep up with your sessions and still maintain your busy schedule. Sessions can be conducted by telephone or by video. I am able to work with clients who live anywhere within the state of California. If you are interested in sessions via video or phone, let me know before you schedule an appointment.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
I work with adults, seniors, and teens who are struggling with issues like:
– Anxiety
– Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors
– Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
– Childhood Emotional Neglect
– Highly Sensitive Person trait
– Grief and loss
– Reproductive issues, including infertility
– Identity and Self-Esteem
– Chronic Illness and Pain
COACHING
Coaching and therapy are two different things, although they may overlap in some areas. Coaching generally focuses on specific areas, such as career goals, self-confidence, or addressing a behavior like trichotillomania. Therapy includes the above, plus mental health issues. There is no licensure or governing Board for coaches, while therapists have advanced degrees, years of internship, state licensure, and adhere to legal and ethical requirements. I provide both types of services in my practice.
Meet the Therapist
Hi! I’m Tammy.
Choosing a therapist is an important decision. The relationship between client and therapist is one of the main predictors of a successful outcome. I want you to feel comfortable with your choice of therapist, and to that end, I am happy to share some information about myself with you. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California, with graduate degrees in Counseling Psychology and Business. Additional training includes Gottman Couples Therapy, Nutritional Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, treatment of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, hypnotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I pursue continuing education in my field on a regular basis. I value the ideas of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I believe that our physiology and our psychology are linked in more ways than we realize.
