Tammy’s counseling mission aligns with the core values of the social work profession: service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. She provides counseling for adults, adolescents and families.

“I consider it a great honor to be a Christian counselor. I believe that throughout our lives, we are all a ‘work in progress,’ living freely under God’s grace and mercy. My goal in counseling is to love and support people as they are while helping them become their best selves.”

Tammy is clinically trained and experienced in addressing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, aging-related challenges, and communication difficulties. She also has extensive knowledge and expertise in working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum.

“I offer specialized support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families, drawing on evidence-based practices and a deep understanding of and compassion for neurodiversity.”

Tammy began her autism-specific training in 2014 with TEACCH, the University of North Carolina’s Autism Program, which serves as a global model for working with individuals on the autism spectrum. She is currently completing her certification as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.

She integrates various treatment modalities tailored to each client’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure Therapy.
