Meet Tate

I know the journey towards wholeness is not always easy, and it can feel hopeless and painful at times - especially if you’re walking away from harm or from familiar environments and structures that were once a source of safety. Rigid families, spiritual trauma, and high-control environments can often lead to feelings of shame and isolation and disconnection from yourself and others. Those of us that are hurting need safe spaces to get deeply curious, explore, and heal without someone claiming to have all the answers or feeling the pressure to give the “correct” answer.

I’m passionate about creating a non-judgmental, safe space for people asking spiritual and existential questions and helping them see how beautiful they are in the midst of uncertainty and change. I specialize in working with adults wanting to process various challenges related to adverse religious experiences, rigid belief systems, high-control environments, and toxic family relationships.

My Background

In particular, I enjoy coming alongside Christians that are navigating painful experiences in the church and folks that are deconstructing their faith and stuck in cycles of addiction. I also really enjoy working with couples and helping them rediscover love and intimacy. The common thread through all my work is my utter fascination with people’s stories - whether it’s a complex, romantic, or seemingly boring one, there literally is nothing I’d rather be doing in this world (and I’ve been on many epic adventures!) than sitting with you and your story.

Together we can unravel parts of your story, discover the messy parts, and the beautiful parts too, and learn to reconnect to your most authentic self. My interest in this work was inspired by other counselors, mentors, and friends that were able to fully see me in the midst of confusion, chaos, and uncertainty. I’d be honored to create and hold that kind of space for you.

Areas of Focus

I focus on; Life Transitions, Career, Trauma, Spirituality, Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Adolescents, and Shame.

Fun Facts About Tate

I’m an avid sports fan and aspiring standup comic. I love traveling and volunteering in developing countries, nerd out on board games and podcasts, sing when no one is watching, and spend way too much time watching social experiments on YouTube.
