"Fix you, not them. Because healthy energy attracts healthy energy. Since you are only responsible for how you show up in a relationship, it has to start with you. I've got you covered!"

I always knew I wanted to be a counselor. I realized in 10th grade that people were like puzzles and I loved helping them organize and adjust all their pieces to make a complete picture. I stayed the course working in the field of mental health- juvenile hall, in-patient, long-term psych hospitals, out-patient clinics, conducting domestic violence groups for court-ordered men and women and finally opened my private practice in 2002. 

In evaluating my love life and past relationships, I recognized the common denominator at the end, was me. This led me to create a strategy to evaluate your past, apply clinical skills to work through and understand the why's behind your behavior, and take charge of your life. If how you are conducting your life isn't working, you have two choices: continue and hope things change, or fix what no longer serves you and replace it with a method that does. 

I decided to fix myself and change how I showed up in my life. When I did, I found love. I didn't try to morph into what someone wanted me to be, or beg for love and connection from someone who wasn't available, I showed up as me. 

Since I bumbled along the process, I knew I needed to create a more smooth and defined path for others to utilize and that is when I created "Preparing for the Jungle". I realized I developed a path from start to finish which completely transformed how I showed up in my life. I'm the most empowered, self-respecting me that I've ever been. It was only then that I was able to attract a healthy, loving, emotionally available partner. That is the process I want to share with you now. 

I have helped thousands of clients heal their hearts and make the crucial adjustments that resulted in positive change. Preparing for the Jungle is a compilation of tested and proven strategies that have created deep change in my client's lives.

"I have been divorced 2 times and have engaged in all kinds of therapy and attempts at becoming a healthier person and making better choices in dating. This course is absolutely an amazing resource for those who want to improve both themselves and their future relationship choices. Even if you think you have tried everything- this course is one stop for all of the major issues in relationships and how to avoid them. Tami is so engaging and makes all of the lessons humorous and lively while still addressing some very challenging issues" S.A.

What I liked best about “Preparing for the Jungle” was that it was practical and focused on changing my thoughts and behaviors around dating. Change happened one step at a time, by thinking through the way I was doing things and then making a small but important change. It was easy to understand and not as scary as just winging it on my own. It felt like I had support and structure. That helped a lot and made things so much more fun. Lisa D.   

The Preparing for the Jungle course was just what I had been searching for to help me better understand myself and my relationships that I had sought for many years. I longed for more fulfillment and happiness in my relationships with my partner, family, friends, and coworkers. I have struggled with anxiety and depression all my life and had sought out help to understand and manage my emotions and behaviors. It was not until I took Tammy’s course that I gained more insight into my behaviors and patterns, and how my personality type and my family role influenced this. This awareness has been enlightening and has provided me the with tools to continue to move forward on my journey of self awareness. Although I still have more work to do this shift in perspective has been eye-opening. Tami is such an insightful, compassionate and helpful person. I am grateful for Tami and her commitment to help women build a healthy loving relationship with themselves, so they can find healthy, loving relationships with others. A.K.

Just wanted to share a little.

Tami and this group has been God sent to me.

I was in an abusive relationship...physically, emotionally and ALOT of mental abuse.

Was in this for 3 years. I realized the situation I was in after about 2 years, but it took me a year to get out. I took Tami's course...preparing for the jungle. My self-confidence was nonexistent, I was very unhappy with everything in life, I couldn’t concentrate or focus on anything. I got to where everything was so overwhelming that I just stopped and didn't do anything anymore. I didn't know where to begin. I have to say I went through Tami's course way too fast but at that time that's all I could do because I couldn't concentrate on anything. After getting through the course, I knew I had to end this relationship. So, I did. It was not easy at all cause my heart still loved him. For my own sanity I figured out I have to act as if....as if he is dead, he has passed away, no longer exists in my life. I forgave myself for being played, and I'm working on forgiving him. Not saying what he done to me was ok but more like forgiving him that he is unable to feel and share a healthy love. I handed him and any thought of him over to God. Whenever he comes to my mind...I stop and say NO, go away...God please take him from me. He calls and I do not answer. I am getting stronger and starting to get to know that person I see in the mirror again. I can focus and get things done now. I have a long way to go to get to where I WANT TO BE, but at least now I know I can get there. I am not at a point yet where I even want to think about dating again. But I do look forward to re doing Tami's course when I start to feel like I'm ready. I will definitely redo the course as many times as needed before moving forward with an intimate relationship again.

I owe where I am today to God...Tami...my children...and myself.

Don't give up, you can get out of toxic relationships, it's not easy but it is possible.
