About Tamra
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs affect daily choices. Tamra also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and still move toward what matters to them. Sessions aim to produce new ideas for tackling problems rather than relying on old patterns.
Tamra has worked for many years with people affected by domestic violence and with those involved in the legal system around sexual offending, as well as with family members and survivors. She frames difficult family or relationship histories in terms of patterns and cycles, and looks for realistic ways to break those cycles.
Her approach is direct but respectful. She emphasizes trust, clear goals, and tracking what works over time. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical homework, and exercises suited to their daily routine.
Outside of her clinical work she enjoys organic gardening, cooking, and outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, camping, and kayaking. She also spends time with her rescue dog, Blue, and brings a down-to-earth style to therapy.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions tied to personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns or habits. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, mood, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current trust and connection issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to learn about a person's goals, preferences, and daily routines, and then suggests what might fit best. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems happen, which can help translate session work into everyday life.
