About Tina

She focuses on helping people who are dealing with grief, relationship challenges, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Tina builds a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through painful memories and current stressors. She listens for what matters most and works with each person to set realistic goals.
How Tina works
Sessions usually center on practical skills and clearer ways to handle difficult feelings and behaviors. Her work draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more helpful ones.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving how people relate to others. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used for processing traumatic memories when that is needed. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people commit to values-based action, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's experience central to each session.
Together these methods are used to address concerns like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and intimacy or attachment issues. Tina brings a direct, compassionate style and practical problem solving. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client choose which steps to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Tina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by teaching practical exercises and short experiments.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills. DBT is useful for managing intense feelings and for improving how people relate to others. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is sometimes used when trauma processing is needed; it aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to traumatic memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then they will choose methods collaboratively and adjust over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
