Hi!
I’m Tamara
Sometimes, you know something needs to change, even if you’re not quite sure what that looks like yet.
Confidential therapy in English & Spanish, in person in Reno, and telehealth everywhere else in Nevada.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling, meaningful and happy life regardless of life experiences, emotions, age or health. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, heal, and move forward, while walking alongside them in the journey.

I firmly believe that understanding ourselves is an important part of creating meaningful change
That’s why I’ve also developed The Emotional Wellness Program™—a collection of self-paced educational courses designed to help better understand your emotions, recognize patterns, identify triggers, and develop practical coping skills.
Reconnecting with ourselves doesn’t always begin with talking or learning
Sometimes, it starts by slowing down, spending time in nature, and giving ourselves space to simply be. Through Emotional Wellness Experiences, I bring together nature-based activities using therapeutic horticulture, and mindfulness practices to create opportunities to restore your mental wellness or maintain your wellbeing.
About Me:
Therapy isn’t one size fits all…
I use a trauma-informed, evidence-based, compassionate approach to therapy:
My clinical training includes evidence-based approaches, allowing me to adapt therapy to your needs, goals, age and experience rather than relying on a single method:

What is it like to work with me?
The journey to healing shouldn’t be lonely
You don’t need to have everything figured out
Its ok to not know where to start or what’s wrong.
Safety & Trust come first
Especially when working through difficult emotions, sessions move at a pace that is comfortable for you.
A collaborative journey
My approach is to work together and adjust as you evolve and grow in your journey.

Nature-based Approach
Therapy isn’t confined to a traditional office or talk therapy. Depending on your needs, goals and comfort level, I can integrate nature-based modalities or move sessions outdoors.
Change the Cycle
Going beyond just looking at patterns, we’ll work on strategies to change the cycle that keeps you stuck.
Confidence & Clarity
Find meaning and self-compassion as success, failures and changes in life shape your thoughts and emotions.
A comfortable place to begin…
Come home… literally
My Reno office was once a home that has been thoughtfully converted into office spaces, giving our sessions the comfortable feel of a living room.
I provide therapy and emotional wellness experiences in English, Spanish, in-person in Reno and online throughout Nevada.
Hours are by appointment only, Monday through Thursday starting in the late afternoon.
I’m a licensed clinical therapist experienced working in government, therapy agencies, higher education, k to 12 schools, with clients across the lifespan – from kids to adults of different cultural backgrounds.

What to Expect in Therapy
How it starts:
Let’s Connect
We start where you’d like to begin. Whether it’s learning about each other or sharing your story, we’ll start with a conversation about what brings you to therapy, what matters to you, and where you’d like support.
Understand
Therapy is a wonderful process I refer as ‘peeling the onion’. We take one layer off at a time, exploring and understanding experiences, patterns and emotions at a pace that feels comfortable.
Build
We’ll work together to develop insight, awareness and coping strategies in meaningful ways to move toward your goals. I’ll be your support and guide in nourishing your inner strength.
Move Forward
As your knowledge and skills grow you’ll begin applying what you’ve learned in everyday life with greater ease. Therapy can come to a close when you’ve reached a place where you feel ready to continue using those tools independently, living life with greater clarity, confidence and trust in yourself.
