Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer a safe and judgment-free opportunity for people to discuss problems or challenges they are facing. I work with a diverse combination of professionals, blue collar workers, parents, graduate students, agency administrators, seniors, and others. I enjoy helping clients explore alternatives for understanding the past, experiencing the present, and moving into the future. My approach involves talking in plain language and, as appropriate, with a bit of lightness and humor. I transitioned to counseling after a successful 32-year career as a private practice lawyer. My life experiences, previous professional history, and compassion help me help clients. I work with clients on relationship issues, toxic workplace concerns, anger management, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, assertiveness training, career choices, and other concerns. I enjoy working with caregivers for the elderly, disabled, or ill.

12 years offering treatment
My name is Tami and I am licensed in Florida with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, LGBTQAI+-related issues, & relationship issues, and so mush more. In my vast experience of working in a facility and private practice, there are few issues that come to me now, that I haven't seen and counseled before. I worked at an addiction facility for approximately 3 years, doing evaluations in the jail, to get people out of jail and into treatment where they belonged. Because I believe no one should be in jail for an addiction issue. I do free counseling for combat veterans through a program called Give An Hour. I am probably not your traditional counselor, in the sense that I don't only use a single approach or a particular counseling theory, I use a more eclectic view, wherein, I gear the approach to each client individually, meeting them where they are in their life. Experience has taught me that each and every client I have had the honor of working with, is an individual and there is no cookie cutter approach that works for everyone. So after I meet each client for the first time, I decide what approach will work best for them. I am of the theory of treating a person holistically because people aren't just a condition or disorder they have, they are a person independent of whatever issues they are experiencing. I work with my clients to create an open, honest, and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change, in order to become the best version of yourself. My job is to offer you the tools you need and help you gain confidence in yourself to make the changes that you want to see and be able to move forward without the need of a counselor in the future. I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.
