Great to meet you!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Tina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about working with people and helping them along their journey. I am here with an empathetic and supportive ear to listen and help you process what's on your mind. I want you to have a positive and healthy relationship to therapy, and leave feeling better than when you started. Whether we look at the day-to-day or bigger patterns, we will move at your pace and face problems together!

My approach to therapy

I create space for clients to share their story, and provide nonjudgmental listening. I focus on building a strong rapport and trust within our relationship. I like to use validation and humor (when appropriate) to create connection and motivation.

What you can expect from me

We will work together so you can create a life worth living. Sessions with me will leave you feeling heard, and that you are not alone!
