Hey there! I’m a bicultural second-gen Latina passionate about working with other bicultural and minoritized clients as they explore their identity and break harmful generational cycles, especially within the context of first and second gen Latine experiences. I work with adults experiencing major life changes, anxiety, and stress. Together, we'll dive deep into your concerns, whether they stem from your family of origin, parental relationships, childhood environment, or the impacts of sexual and domestic violence. We'll also tackle that little voice inside your head, helping you reshape your self-talk into something empowering.

I love co-collaborating with curious folx who want to know more about themselves and find better ways to live under systems of oppression. This can look like wanting to know more about your gender/sexuality, traumas/resilience, patterns/histories, systems/power, and desires/dreams. I work well with folx who want to build softer ways of being, explore voice/dignity, create liberatory self-narratives, and hold grief/trauma in new ways. I love working with community organizers, queer/trans folx, and creatives. I value safely moving into the deep with clients, honoring and tending to wounds that happened to but do not define folx.

You’re often looked at as the strong friend but feels as if no one checks in on you. You’re worried that people would look at you as weak or a “burden”. Everything is becoming so bottled up that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. Something needs to change, but you can’t seem to pinpoint where to start. The healing process can be frightening to begin, and I commend you for taking the first step on looking for a therapist to help you through it! Taking this journey can allow you to explore your authentic self, step into the person you want to be, and create more loving and safe spaces around you.

I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun! The client that wants to get to the root of the pain, hurt, awkwardness, craziness, sadness, the list goes on is a great match with Ms. Tam. The client that also pulls from hope, spirit, experience, the unknown is a match with me. Its helpful for the client to remain open throughout at least 3-6 sessions after the assessment in order to fully rate symptom change.

Are you struggling with intense anxiety, frequent worry, or obsessive thoughts? Do you avoid important activities because of your anxiety? Do you find it difficult to enjoy life and pursue goals because of these problems? We all experience anxiety sometimes, but if it interferes with your social life, daily functioning, or work there is hope. I pride myself on being compassionate while being guided by evidenced based treatment using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention).

As a therapist, I believe in the power of supporting others in unlocking their inner potential, while defining their concept of joy or contentment based on their terms. I support people by utilizing therapy modalities (i.e., narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance & commitment therapy), rooted in strength-based practice and framed in multiculturalism.

Accepting New Clients -I am a Christian Counselor and Life Strategist. What this means is that I use psychology and Biblical principles to help you create and live your best life possible. This is important to me because all my life I’ve had dreams about Big accomplishments, Big success, and Big things. When I looked around, I was convinced that I was living the wrong life. It wasn’t until I began to learn and apply Biblical principles to my life that I realized that I wasn’t living the wrong life, but my life was what I created. I had to unlearn, relearn, and then begin creating the life and relationships I desired.
