Hello! My name is Tammy and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oklahoma and Texas. I have 7 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, outpatient, in-home, and school-based. I have experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues.
My dedication to the field of mental health comes from a past experience, where my community was grappling from the effects of a F-5 tornado. I witnessed children, adults, and adolescents unable to identify or talk about their trauma. I wasn't qualified to help and I wanted to. Therefore, I went back to school and obtained my degree in counseling and was soon after licensed.
I would like to help you navigate the challenges that you may be facing. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults currently facing emotional challenges such as anger, anxiety, depression, school issues, and mood instability. I believe that effective interventions enables clients to take control of their feelings and behaviors by learning and understanding how their brain responds to various stressors. My counseling style is warm and interactive and I believe in treating everyone with respect. I feel that clients want someone they can connect with, trust, and talk with about difficult situations with that person. Establishing a relationship with your client is essential for true healing to happen.
I offer a variety of interventions aimed to assist adolescents and young adults find the solutions to their problems. I am a Trust Based Relational Interventions (TBRI) Practitioner.. I have had great success working with adolescents and young adults who have struggled with traditional therapeutic interventions. I have an approach where I design interventions that fit each person's individual needs. I strive to make therapy engaging. I want to walk this difficult journey with you and help you find your place of healing and life-long happiness.
