simply use try/catch:

try {
    #Set erroraction to stop to ensure any error is a terminating error
    Initialize-Tpm -ErrorAction:stop
}
Catch {
    #return error message and stop processing
    throw $_
}

Instead of throw you could also use return to stop the processing or exit (but exit will terminate the process).

You can also tell catch to react only on specific errors:

catch [exception]{
}
