About Tanya

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 4 years of experience working with outpatient mental health settings. I support adults, children, couples, and seniors navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. Many of the individuals I have worked with felt emotionally uncertain about their future and are looking for tools to promote healing and build interpersonal relationships to move forward on their personal journey.

I earned my master's degree in social work from Walden University. I adhere to evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma therapy. I take a collaborative approach to identifying challenges and finding solutions to current life circumstances.

I am committed to providing a safe, compassionate space for you to explore your emotions as you navigate life's challenges, and I look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey.

"As a woman of color who has experienced loss of loved ones, I have an understanding of the process of grief and the importance of forgiveness and having a support system."

Get to know Tanya

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I believe in the power of listening and how one can heal through learning that they are not held to past experiences or hurt. There is power in healing.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Seniors, adults, adolescents, and children (5and up).

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

This is an individual process, and your journey may not look like everyone's else's.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Building rapport is the most important in first few sessions. Creating a safe space for them to begin to open up about their current emotional status's

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

I have experienced grief and loss. I raised a child with ADHD and learned a lot about patience and the importance of routine.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Working with the client and seeing if they are receptive to the techniques. Always checking in to see if they are still working toward the collaborative goals, or if we need to refocus on memories/feelings triggered by recent events.
