                    After working with Tammy, I wish I would have started therapy years ago. I actually tried in the past with a few therapists but nothing felt worth continuing. Working with Tammy feels different. I have complete confidence in her experience, and she is smart and well experienced to understand and identify underlying issues. I highly recommend her and feel like I’ve got a great therapist to help me with any thing I’d like to improve in my life.

                    We love how Tammy is direct! I hate beating around the bush in therapy and like things spelled out for me. Very personable and easy to talk to. Lots of great knowledge and I like the homework tasks that force us to address issues outside of therapy.

                    Tammy is really fantastic.  She is a great listener that knows how to make a personal connection with her client.  I think we have discussed something different every session I have had, and each time I leave feeling like I have a game plan and the tools for dealing with each particular issue effectively.  She has a wealth of expertise, and her suggestions have regularly been things I hadn’t considered, but yet were spot-on advice.  I feel very fortunate to have been matched with her!

                    Tammy was easy to talk and friendly, but still got down to business. She helped me put together a plan I felt comfortable moving forward with starting on our very first session together.

                    Therapy has been hit or miss with me even when I knew it was needed. Well, let me tell you about my experience with Tammy then. It’s not her knowledge or years of experience that stand out, although extensive and amazing. It’s her ability to see through the tiny things you try and hide, her ability to keep you on your toes and wanting to see what’s next. She sticks with it and keeps a couple questions left in your mind until next time. In addition, when she says she will do something, she does it. I’ve gotten used to, as we all may, of “I’ll get that to you later”, and later becomes farther and farther away. Not Tammy. 
I’ve met my match and am excited.

                    In just 20 minutes I gained new perspective and wisdom that otherwise would’ve been left hidden.
