I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, family challenges, school-related concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences.
My background as a school social worker has given me extensive experience supporting young people and families navigating complex circumstances, including foster care, housing instability, pregnancy and parenting during adolescence, family challenges, and other life stressors.
I have a particular passion for supporting youth and young adults who have experienced trauma, exploitation, trafficking, or other adverse experiences.

What I Want You to Know
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
You don't have to know exactly what to say.
And you don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone.
We'll start where you are and work from there.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Starting therapy can often make people feel nervous and unsure about what to expect. I understand how hard it is to trust a stranger with such personal thoughts and feelings. I have been working to help others create a safe and productive space to share and grow since 2013.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in providing therapeutic services to adults (18+) in individual, group, and couples formats. My foundational background with mental health services comes from my experience working in inpatient psychiatric settings with severe mental disorders and substance use/addiction. I am also fluently bilingual in Spanish.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Our Lady of the Lake University.
I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I am especially passionate about helping clients build resilience, process difficult experiences, and create lasting, positive change in their lives.
For clients seeking trauma-focused care, I am Master Trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a research-backed approach that can help resolve distressing memories in a more efficient and effective way.
Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.
I work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature or emotionally unavailable parents. Many come in feeling lonely, empty, or misunderstood, often stuck in people‐pleasing, low self‐esteem, anxiety, or depression, and unsure of who they are or how to form lasting emotional connections. I also support clients facing work stress, major life transitions, and grief. Together, we slow things down, build insight, strengthen identity and boundaries, and develop skills for emotional regulation and healthier relationships so clients feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
Hi, I'm Tamra, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and substance use, and I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we'll work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
I am licensed in Texas with 9 years of professional experience. I have experience working with military families and children going through reintegration processes, and understanding new family dynamics. I have experience working with children and youth who are facing social, academic, and identity concerns. I have experience working with foster and adopted youth. I have experience in helping adult clients with relationships, family conflicts, parenting, self-esteem, sexuality, and confidence.
I'm a licensed psychologist, an assistant professor at a public university, and — in an earlier life — a musician who led a band around Hongdae in Seoul. I was born and raised in Korea and have since lived and worked across the U.S. and in Vietnam, so I know the experience of living between cultures from the inside.
I work with adults, adolescents, and children, in English and Korean, on ADHD and executive functioning; anxiety, stress, and depression; giftedness, creativity, and high performance (including performers and creative professionals); and bicultural and Korean-American identity, acculturation, and family dynamics across generations. I also see couples and families.
My doctorate is from one of the very few APA-accredited Combined (Counseling & School Psychology) programs in North America, and I've researched creativity and giftedness for more than ten years. Most of my work is by telehealth.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it is also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.
