My Approach to Helping

Tammy has a warm, realistic and caring manner when approaching her work with clients. She is well-known for her work around postpartum but she also really enjoys working with folks at any transition in their life (career, partnership, grief and loss, next steps).

She experienced moderate postpartum anxiety & depression (undiagnosed for months) with her first child. In her practice, Tammy helps the mother and her whole system (family and friends) become aware of the issues around the adjustment period and how to effectively strategize for health, safety and recovery. She is an amazing wealth of resources and connections as she has spent most of her 20+ year career in Maternal and Child Health.

In addition to her private practice in Olympia, Tammy provides educational workshops and therapeutic groups on a variety of topics. She also coordinates PSI of WA's free Postpartum Support Groups for the Thurston County community and provides consultation to various health care professionals serving pregnant and postpartum women and their families.

The other topics Tammy supports in her practice: children and their families with sensory integration issues, grief and loss from fertility loss, miscarriage and stillborn loss, partnerships thriving while raising children, healing birth, breastfeeding and early parenting wounds as well as the Sacred Tasks & Sacred Currency of Parenthood.

Tammy enjoys spending time outside work with her life partner Ted, and growing daughters Ally and Ella as well as their huge Lab, Buddy. She loves poetry, writing, Qigong, knitting, walking & running, water and fun. She is passionate about being a part of helping someone live the best life they can live.
