Hello, I'm Tamara, a former flight attendant turned public school teacher who transitioned into school counseling and now private practice. With a deep understanding of the inevitable nature of change, I support both my clients and students through counseling, coaching, consultation, and psycho-educational training to help them navigate life's transitions.

At The  The Wellness Playground™ , my goal is to take an open and tailored approach to your wellness, offering services that align with your unique personality, goals, and needs. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 3,000 hours of post-graduate supervised experience, I’m intentional about providing high-quality personalized wellness. I hold a Masters in Counseling, which enhances my ability to serve adolescents, young adults and adults, drawing on my extensive experience in schools, churches, and group practices  throughout the DFW area.  

I intentionally maintain a small practice to ensure that I can be fully present with each client, offering the attention and personalized treatment necessary for meaningful progress. My own experiences of both failure and success allow me to serve with integrity, humility, and empathy.  While I have over ten years of experience in the counseling field and am trained in various counseling techniques, I recognize that you are the expert on your own life.  I honor each individual's unique lived experience and intersecting identities. I am committed to being a partner in your journey toward becoming your best, healthiest self.

 When I’m not serving others, you’ll find me spending time with my family, working out, relaxing with a good book, enjoying the beach with my feet in the sand, or sipping on my favorite green tea. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation—I’d love to connect and discuss how we can work together to support your growth and wellness!
