Conversations are intended to be honest and nonjudgmental so clients can name what matters and start to shift it.

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree from St. Edward’s University. Over nearly two decades she has worked in a variety of settings, which shaped her ability to adapt sessions to different needs and life rhythms. Tammy brings that experience to each appointment.

Clients can expect a focus on present-day problems alongside attention to how past hurts still affect daily life. Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and clarify next steps. Tammy is based in Texas and works in plain language so people understand what to try and why.

She recognizes taking that first step takes courage and makes space for honest conversation about goals, doubts, and realistic change. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual.

The client-centered approach centers the person in the room and follows the client's priorities. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters so they can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and strengths, identifying what is already working and building on it to create manageable change.

Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Tammy treats finding the best fit as a collaborative process. She will talk about what you hope to change, try an approach, and adjust based on your needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a workday break. Some formats also let people check in with shorter conversations when a quick update is needed, or choose audio only when bandwidth is limited. Ask about available session options when you set up the first appointment.
