Welcome! My name is Tamer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience in disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+ centered care. I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the role that stories play in shaping our everyday lives. My work draws from Narrative therapy, which allows us to deconstruct how these stories show up in the context of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Together, we will harness your ideas, skills, beliefs, and experiences to reclaim the story you want to live. I also provide couples counseling and family therapy by utilizing innovative practices centered on equity and resolution. I have an open-door policy where we are transparent with one other, and you can offer constructive feedback. Most importantly, I create a safe, compassionate space where your full self is seen, heard, and valued without judgment or shame. In the words of Brené Brown, “Story stewardship means honoring the sacred nature of story–the ones we share and the ones we hear–and knowing that we’ve been entrusted with something valuable or that we have something that we should treat with respect and care." I look forward to honoring your journey here, and your journey forward. Thank you so much!
