Hi! I'm Tami Kiekhaefer
I am a Colorado born and raised, mountain and river loving, camping, skiing, yoga practicing mom of two teenage boys and 2 Goldendoodles. I received my Bachelor of Science at Colorado State and my Masters of Social Work from Cal State San Bernardino.
I have provided couples counseling, individual and family therapy for kids, adolescents and adults for the past 20 years. I have gained an expertise in depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues. I developed “Preparing for the Jungle” to teach what I know is required to achieve a healthy relationship. As I have worked with thousands of clients from different backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, and social economic structures, one thing remains the same...
There is a direct correlation between how we communicate and resolve conflict, and how successful and fulfilling our personal relationships are.
Depression and anxiety, as well as our self-worth, also stem from our ability to problem solve and cope with what life throws our way.
A person's power to grow never fails to amaze me, and I am grateful to be part of your journey.
