Specializing in Recovery from Destructive Living
Feeling hopeless, anxious, and overwhelmed can take a toll, especially when life doesn’t feel like your own anymore. Maybe on the surface, things look fine, but inside there's a lingering emptiness, a sense that something is missing.
Perhaps that "one drink to take the edge off" turns into finishing the whole bottle. You might set limits—buying smaller bottles, hiding drinks, or committing to dry months—only to fall back into old patterns, wondering why others can stop after one or two, but you can't.
Your career, family, and other areas of life might seem intact, but this struggle stays hidden. Maybe you've noticed feeling sluggish, looking puffy, gaining weight, or losing interest in what once brought joy. Shame lingers, and it feels isolating, like no one understands.
Counseling offers a space to break free from this cycle and rediscover your sense of purpose. Together, we can explore what's driving these patterns, build healthier ways to cope, and help you reconnect with your life in a way that feels authentic and whole. You don’t have to carry this alone—I’m here to help.
Meet Tamara
Through my own journey of recovery and healing, I have developed a deep understanding of the struggles and challenges that come with problematic drinking and addiction issues. I have dedicated my life to helping others who are going through similar experiences, and I have seen incredible transformations in the lives of those I have worked with.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and focuses on providing individuals with the tools and support they need to overcome their struggles. I believe in the power of counseling, accountability, and holistic wellness practices to help individuals regain control of their lives and find healing.
I am passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and advocating for better access to resources for all. I know firsthand the power of seeking help and the impact it can have on one's life. I am committed to continuing to support and empower others on their journey to recovery.
I am proof that it is possible to rebuild and create a fulfilling life after experiencing a mental health crisis. I am grateful for the support I received and am dedicated to paying it forward by helping others find hope and healing.

What clients have to say…….
"There are certain times in life when people are put in place at the exact moment that you need them. Tamara has been one of those people for me. When I met Tamara, I had not been able to string together any days of sobriety in spite of my best efforts. She is compassionate, caring and empathetic and is able to hold you accountable in a kind manner that gets through to you in a way that other people can’t. She has taken the time to get to know me and to understand what works best for me and my journey in sobriety. She has helped me get through cravings that I thought would never pass, encouraged me when tears flowed as I cried broken and baffled on yet another day 1, talked me through how to deal with every emotion. She genuinely cares about me as a person. I don’t know where I would have been had I not met Tamara. She is someone you will only meet once in a lifetime and I am forever grateful for her and the work that she does."
MANDI B.
Thankfully, I reached out to Tamara in one of my darkest, soul crushing hours in a moment I knew that I had to change or I was going to destroy my life. She has been a huge support for me from the moment I called and has been a steady light on the path ever since. I knew right away that Tamara is gifted with a keen sense of seeing to the heart of aspects of my childhood trauma, my limiting beliefs, and my attachments with a refreshing honesty and in a short amount of time. She assisted me with having the courage to take the action steps I needed to take to heal. Her generosity, intuition, and dedication to healing are contagious and beautiful. I am deeply grateful to have found such gifted healer.

“I am so grateful to have your help and guidance with my emotional well being over the past year. I felt a trusted connection with you from the very beginning. You were compassionate yet firm. You listened and heard what I was saying and translated so I could understand and see my truth. Recently we worked together using EFT. This has been such a great tool for me to use. Using it to bring down anxiety in times of overwhelm is so helpful, but tapping has benefited me the most in writing the life story I want to have. Those doors are opening. I am worthy.”

Coaching Packages
Intensive coaching is recommended for the beginning stages of addiction recovery, as this new phase of life is an extremely challenging and fragile time. It typically requires a higher level of support in order to begin the process of rewiring the automatic responses that have lead to addiction. This is why each coaching package gives you daily twenty-four hour access to support with Tamara via a messaging app, weekly 1:1 counseling sessions, and weekly group coaching calls.
Through continuous and long term coaching, we can address the underlying conditions that have entangled us into our addictions. Long term coaching can assist in identifying, acknowledging & processing irrational beliefs, unresolved trauma, relational difficulties, financial concerns, and/or any other destructive behavioral patterns. This is a paramount to long term recovery and without trained support, can leave us with blind-spots that are still operating through unconscious impulses.
Having a coach is an important part of healing & recovery, yet is also highly benefited by your agreement & commitment to allowing your coach to give you the, often times, humbling feedback needed to successfully overcome the places you are unable to see.
The subconscious is responsible for many of our reactive, impulsive and addictive tendencies. Because of this, one of our main goals in recovery coaching is to uncover the places we cannot see. This is why it is so imperative to have an experienced coach that can assist you into the life that is waiting for you on the other side!

There is something truly amazing about sharing together through group coaching. Listening to the challenges of one another can help us not to feel alone in what we are experiencing. Such a major part of suffering is feeling alone without support & companionship. We can be uniquely beneficial to others by also sharing, together, how we are overcoming the challenges we face. We can share the tools that we are learning & applying in our daily lives, as well as, receive guidance from Tamara.
