Tamara is a clinician who doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk. When it comes to self-exploration, self-growth, and self-care she believes in modeling this behavior for her clients. In her spare time she works on her meditation and reiki practices. She also enjoys traveling, painting, journaling, going to Orange Theory Fitness, scuba diving, watching movies, listening to music of all genres, reading, off roading in her Jeep, and really anything else that can be done outdoors! Having quality time with loved ones is one of the most re-energizing pass times in her life!

Tamara looks forward to hearing from you and helping you on your healing journey!
