About Tamra
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and beliefs influence feelings and behavior, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult emotions while taking steps that matter to them. Tamra also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered work to strengthen relationships and improve communication.
Much of her career has involved work around sexual offending, domestic violence, and the needs of victims and affected family members. She notices common patterns in extreme emotional abuse and brings that experience into safety-focused conversations and planning. She also emphasizes that sex offender programs must be completed through legally recognized channels before related therapy work proceeds.
Tamra helps with a wide range of issues including anxiety, grief, addictions, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns.
Outside of work she grows organic gardens, cooks from the harvest, and enjoys outdoor activities like skiing, camping, hiking, and kayaking with her rescue dog, Blue. She invites people to reach out and learn healthier, more authentic ways of relating to others and to themselves.
