Meet Tamara

Tamara holds fast to the belief that it is your knowing that makes the difference. Building from a Biblical lens on the trauma therapy concept Window of Tolerance, she noticed a pattern within herself, those she studied in the Bible, and others she has encountered- What we knew or at least thought we knew in the moment made all the difference in how we responded. This has led Tamara to help others explore their knowing in times of crisis, frustrations, and even happiness in order to expand their safety network of healthy beliefs, systems, connections, and collaborators on their journey. Because when our knowing is clarified, it steadies us and helps us to stay afloat.
