Hi, my name is Tamara and welcome to my counseling page! My counseling approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe that each person is the expert of their own life, and my role is to walk alongside them on their journey. I am originally from Beirut, Lebanon (I speak Arabic!) and my journey has been filled with valuable life experiences and insights that I believe can be beneficial in our therapeutic work together. Living in two different places has given me a unique perspective and an appreciation for different cultures.

While my most extensive experience is in addictions treatment and substance abuse counseling, I have a passion for trauma, mental health, and family therapies as well. Even from my early beginnings in this career, my focus and ultimate goal has always been to help people from every walk of life, no matter their history or background. I prioritize getting to know my clients as individuals and tailoring my treatments specifically to each one. I take a “whole life” approach, focusing not only on personal issues, but taking a deep look into relationships with family and friends, ideas of value systems, and beliefs about oneself.

Taking the first step towards making a change is the most difficult step but most important. What one needs most during this time is a space of safety, empathy and encouragement. I would like to join you in your self discovery and provide an opportunity for self-understanding to take place in attempt to accept the past, make sense of the present and mold for a better future. It would be a privilege to unite with you in this therapeutic journey, so to help you find change, peace and much deserved happiness.

Maybe you're someone who's feeling overwhelmed with anxiety in your day-to-day life and you're wondering why the competent person you once knew is scrambling just to show up. Possibly, you're struggling to have successful and meaningful relationships as your trauma triggers cause you to react and retreat. Or perhaps, you are hoping to understand yourself again as you navigate pregnancy and postpartum. Bottom line is that you're someone who wants to find a relationship with a therapist who provides you with necessary tools and the confidence and clarity to move forward with more calm and content in your life than when you began.

Anxiety, depression, chronic physical/emotional conditions, stress management, work/life balance, marital stressors, communication, finances, are areas to be explored.
