A note from Tamela
We all want to live our best life. I know trauma on a personal level & treating trauma has become my passion. I use a client-centered approach where you are the master of your own life; I am here to walk beside you as a guide. My hope is to empower you to work through your trauma, relationship difficulties and life’s challenges. I provide trauma-focused, client-centered, & couples counseling to all ages & backgrounds. I am well versed in EMDR, TF-CBT, & reproductive loss counseling. I believe that trauma is a journey and not one person’s journey will be the same. You are not alone.
