About Tammy
She draws on 13 years of practice in Washington and a longer career supporting a range of populations. Tammy focuses on finding workable steps that fit each person’s life. She emphasizes strengths and existing supports when making a plan.
Therapy sessions use straightforward methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused steps, and narrative approaches. That means Tammy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, set small goals, and reframe difficult stories about themselves. Motivational interviewing techniques may be used when exploring ambivalence about change.
Clients often come for concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, parenting pressures, or coping with life changes. Tammy also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues related to adoption or blended families. She includes practical problem solving alongside emotional work.
Tammy aims to help clients feel validated and to build clear, realistic plans. The tone in sessions is direct but compassionate, with a focus on simple steps clients can try between meetings. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.
