Hi everyone! Grateful to be in the group. Im Tyra and Im a licensed professional counselor in the State of Maryland with over 20 years of experience spanning direct clinical care and care advocacy. In 2018, I took a break from my private practice and continued to work as an administrator for public health. I experienced a great deal of betrayal trauma from an narc abusive marriage... but more devastating was the loss of my mom Nov 2021 and ripple effect of losses after that loss. I didn't think I'd return to providing direct care. I spent much of 2022 building a cake brand and was resolute in the idea of baking cupcakes the rest of my natural life. 😂 But life purpose has a way on getting us back on track... so here I am living as my authentic self, back in the world of direct care.
Being a private practitioner and working from home, I feel disconnected from other helping professionals often. Im grateful to find this community for ME to grow. I hope I can offer the same support. Thank you.
