As I thought of the mission for Tisino Family Services, I thought of strength's-based. TFS facilitates children, youth, adults, and families back into the arms of what family means. One important goal of TFS is to reduce recidivism and teach preventative steps for sustaintainability. So often, I see individuals dealing with unmitigated trauma, self-identified barriers, and generational disadvantages without coping skills. This mission implements practical skills with persistence that capture the attention of specialized techniques that provides significant breakthroughs of unstable mental health and increase healthy living.

I'm experienced working with minority communities including working with women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients. Minority groups, and couples, particularly those at the intersections of gender, race, and sexual orientation, are often underrepresented in fields of work such as business, tech, and entrepreneurship. I believe therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental space that empowers individuals to be able to push their own limits and views of themselves, in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. Being able to embrace oneself and each other is one of the strongest things a person can learn to do.

I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience that provides clients with the tools and insights they need to live more fulfilling lives.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents but also treat children, young adults, and their families. I am experienced with a variety of struggles that children, adolescents and young adults encounter including Depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety, Behavioral issues, Anger management, Parenting, Communication/Conflict resolution, Family relationship issues, Social skills, Self Esteem and Self harming behaviors. I have found that counseling is such a unique experience for each person. It can be the one place where you find the support, encouragement, insight and empowerment to make the changes needed to begin living the kind of life you truly desire.

I help people struggling in their intimate family relationships. I help folks to move from feeling isolated and alone to finding the deep satisfaction of being known by the ones they love. If you feel trapped in a life that lacks connection to others, I can help you create relationships you want for yourself.

I work with clients who struggle with relationship and family issues, dysfunctional families, family alcoholism/addiction, adult children of alcoholics (ACOA), stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. I also work with perinatal mood disorders which includes traumatic birth, new mothers and working moms. My experience includes over a decade of working in community mental health, psychological research at University of Washington and Fred Hutch CRC, outpatient drug & alcohol treatment centers, and my private practice. I provide therapy to facilitate the pursuit of a healthy, peaceful and insight-oriented lifestyle.

Help is here. You've made it to the right place! I work with clients struggling with depression & anxiety. My niche is women of color processing racial trauma, workplace micro aggressions, and struggles navigating being a person of color living in a predominantly homogenous community. The weight that BIPOC folks feel is often too heavy to lift alone. Having a therapist who looks like you, and understands your cultural lens, is paramount to partnering with you to achieve wellness and recovery. Racial trauma looks like subtle slights + stress from internalized pain of tolerating intolerable systemic stressors based in a toxic culture.

There comes a time when we all need a little help to cope with some of life's challenges. Life can often feel overwhelming and even exhausting, especially in today's environment. If this is one of those times that you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or a death or loss that you are grieving, I am here. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for you to explore difficult emotions, while leading you towards a place of healing and self-discovery.

I provide counseling services to women and small groups in recovery. Areas of special interest are supporting women with issues related to trauma and betrayal, grief, spiritual growth, and life transitions. I have counseled women in cross-cultural settings for more than 30 years. I am particularly sensitive to the cultural, spiritual, and family backgrounds of my clients. I enjoy exploring the experiences that make each woman unique. I will work with you to uncover and develop your strengths as you overcome personal challenges.

Life can be very confusing at times for all of us. I welcome you to take the time for yourself to gain perspective on life's struggles. There can be great benefits in the process! I treat depression/anxiety, trauma, ADHD, Eating Disorders, and marital issues. My office is warm and cozy as we journey together thru the healing process. I use a narrative, solution-focused, CBT modality, Lifespan Integration for clearing trauma, along with a bit of humor over life's bumps. You are welcome to join me for your heart, soul, and body health!

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples. Navigating live's challenges can be really intimidating amidst the stressors of life, especially when they all start piling up and ways you used to cope before stop working. Before giving up, try seeking help from a qualified professional and learn new ways of understanding and interacting with your environment. By identifying and working through barriers, new patterns can be learned, and healing experiences can be found. Resources can be gained and emotional resilience can be improved. You can find the harmony you desire within your life, and it starts here.

The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.

***At this time we have a substantial waitlist, but if you would like to be added we would be glad to hear from you.*** I believe that all of us have the ability to be great, but there are challenges that get in the way. My passion is to help you realize who you are and what you can accomplish despite those challenges. I want to motivate and help you to do the work you need to be a better person, spouse, partner, parent, or friend. I know that we all have things going on, my goal is to be there for you through it, good or bad. Building you up or being there through a tough time that's what therapy is for.

I help people that are feeling anxious and depressed, feel less anxious and depressed. Your mind replays the past and dwells on the future, sending you into panic or making it hard to get out of bed. Your stomach is queasy, your neck is tight, and you feel like you can never quite relax. It feels like others don't see or trust the challenges you face and the effort you actually put in to just get by. You feel uncomfortable in your own skin and unaccepted wherever you go and crave a place that you can truly be yourself, un-judged and appreciated for your unique ideas and qualities. We are going to figure this out together.
