About

Hello, my name is Tammy and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and New Mexico.  I like to connect and engage with you in a an environment that feels safe and accepting.  My approach is strength-based and client centered to help you feel empowered, valued and understood.

Education & Licensure
Master of Social Work from University of Illinois School of Social Work in Urbana; Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have an adult child who has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.  Growing up, they had struggles with anxiety, depression, social skills, executive functioning and difficulty not only controlling their emotions, but identifying their emotions as well.  They have shown me what strength really is in their perseverance and resiliency to be true to themself.  Additionally, I have two adult children who identify as Trans, one who is male to female and the other who is female to male.  Through their journeys, I have learned about the adversity they face in todays society.  My passion is to help others who can also identify and relate to the struggles of the the Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ populations.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I help encourage individuals to identify their strengths, focus on their journey of self-discovery and foster self-development.  Everyone has their own distinct path for personal growth and what works for one does not always work for another.  Every journey is unique and I strive to provide an environment that is warm, validating and supportive.
