My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand navigating the medical system and supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.
Therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. My role is to meet you where you are while helping you gain clarity, recognize patterns, build on your strengths, and identify practical steps toward the changes you want to make. I value authentic conversations and will offer thoughtful feedback, encouragement, and accountability along the way. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to help you move forward with greater confidence and intention.
Life doesn’t always give you time to catch your breath, whether you’re managing
anxiety and depression, moving through a stressful life transition, or facing a chronic
illness or end-of-life diagnosis. For over 12 years, I’ve helped adults and seniors find
steadier ground through anxiety, depression, chronic illness, end-of-life care, and the
stress of young adulthood, in a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space. If you’re
looking for a therapist to walk alongside you, I’d love to connect.
I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC) with a master’s degree from Lenoir-Rhyne University. I provide trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and difficult life experiences. I use EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed approaches to help clients process painful experiences, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident and in control. My goal is to provide a judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
I am a LCSW and certified parent coordinator. I have been working in mental health since 2011.
I like to work with many different populations, but I have a lot of experiences with coercive control dynamics, teenagers, ADHD, Mood and Anxiety disorders and family divorce and blended family dynamics.
I specialize in working with interpersonal conflict, behavioral issues, anxiety, life cycle transitions, depression, and helping clients recognize and build on strengths to overcome challenges.
Hi, I’m Tammy. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation—a two-sided dialogue built on warmth, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and open-minded environment where we can work together to turn your challenges into strengths

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
