She established her practice while working at a variety of agencies, including the Council on Battered Women, Manna Treatment Center, Ridgeview Institute and Skyland Trail. She co-founded the Atlanta Eating Disorder Coalition in 2003. Most recently, Tammy worked as the Executive Director and CEO of Carolina House eating disorder programs in Durham and Raleigh, where she managed a staff of 55 and served up to 32 patients in residential and intensive outpatient settings. She held this position for 3 ½ years prior to opening Stargazer Counseling in 2016. Shortly after moving to the Raleigh area in 2012, Tammy started and facilitated a local Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) support group in Raleigh. This group continues to meet on a weekly basis. Tammy has been a primary speaker at several North Carolina schools and universities on topics such as trauma, eating disorder and sexuality. Tammy strongly believes in early education to prevent childhood abuse and the development of eating disorders and addictions in families. Tammy has been to many states to present to organizations such as the Southeastern Eating Disorder Conference, the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, the Georgia College Counselors Association and Iowa Eating Disorder Coalition Conference.
