Finding and embracing an authentic self is one of the core missions of adult life. What too often corrupts this search, though, is the phenomenon of shame - a destructive force if there ever was one. Shame can contribute to substance use, depression, anxiety, interpersonal struggles, poor health outcomes, maladaptive trauma responses, and, at extremes, psychosis and suicidal ideation. Such maladies, when approached in the context of a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship, can be transformed into signs pointing the way toward a meaningful and fulfilling sense of self.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. I'm Tanya, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

You may find yourself going it alone and attempting to "stuff" issues such as anxiety, sadness, or relationship problems. I work with my patients to identify specific, well-researched, concrete tools that can help combat mental health issues and empower them to react with more control, awareness, and balance. We'll work as a team to develop skills to gain deeper insights, manage the inevitable barriers you face, and gain more control over your psychological concerns.

Sometimes life experiences leave us feeling overwhelmed or hopeless and we find that the ways we usually cope are not helping. Sometimes our personal journey involves difficult, seemingly impossible crises or losses. At times like these, we often try to manage emotions with activities that help us feel better for a short time but then the cost starts to outweigh the benefits. I believe we all go through times like this when we are tired of struggling. The path towards recovering from these experiences seems more doable when we are able to find a renewed motivation and clear goals towards healthy change.

Do you ever feel like life is too difficult, too painful, or unfair? Negative experiences can often overshadow everything, shaping how we see the world and interact with those around us. Life's challenges can impact us in many ways, causing mood fluctuations, and difficulties in adjusting to new situations, and straining personal, school, and work relationships. As a therapist, we tailor our approach to each individual's needs and circumstances, using techniques such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method for couples.
