Hi. I’m Tami.
I’m a depth-oriented therapist with a longstanding interest in people’s inner lives—how we make meaning of our experiences, how patterns form, and how healing unfolds over time. My approach is informed by psychodynamic, somatic, relational, and insight-oriented traditions, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and collaboration.
I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work. I have navigated anxiety, depression, and postpartum mental health challenges. I’ve also lived in multiple countries—experiences that deeply shape my sensitivity to culture, nuance, and the complexity of identity.
I openly welcome conversations about spirituality, meaning, ancestry, and existential questions when they feel relevant to you. These aspects of life often intersect with emotional well-being in important ways.
For me, therapy is a lot like Kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. It’s a reminder that our struggles don’t diminish us; they’re part of what makes us whole and human. Even in the moments when we feel broken, we can learn to rebuild ourselves with intention, compassion, and meaning.
My background and approach
My background is a type of talk therapy focused on relationship patterns, exploring early childhood, and emotions and their expression, to better understand the unconscious patterns people may have developed over time. My approach is relational and grounded in trust. This is where integration begins.
I also incorporate creative exercises to help uncover new areas (art, value sorting, etc.), share some practical tools like cognitive behavioural therapy skills, mindfulness approaches, grounding techniques, and offer helpful information that can benefit you. I also work with dreams to help uncover thoughts and feelings that can lead to “a-ha” moments. It’s all about tailoring my approach to you.
When we seek growth and change, the path ahead may seem overwhelming. However, a well-known Chinese proverb states that “[a] journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Reach out now to begin your healing journey.
