Consistent collaborative parent-work is critical to address infant, child & adolescent issues.
Health, nutrition, self & interpersonal relationships with family, friends & colleagues have a major influence on overall well-being. How do you seek, expect & provide attunement to self & others? Unrecognized intergenerational neuro-relational themes play a part in the manner thru which one seeks life, connection & success. Attachment & neurorelational patterns meant to gain love & closeness can mean one feels known & accepted or sadly invisible & rejected. Tina helps one learn to listen to the self with open-minded curiosity in order to identify relational styles, understanding how they support or hinder one in all areas of life.

I am a bible believing Christian. I have been in private practice since 1992, & have broad experiences. I work with all ethnics, genders and populations (pediatrics to geriatrics). I have worked on military installations (MFLC & New Parent Support) and continue to serve active duty and veterans today as a community care provider. I provide EAP for Anthem and Optum UHC and only except their private insurance (including Medicare). I am also a community care provider for Veteran's. All other's would be considered private pay and I do offer a sliding scale, however, income verification is required.

Putting your trust in a therapist is an especially vulnerable decision. You may assume that therapy will involve figuring out what is wrong with you and fixing it. I honor and respect the difficulty of your decision, and in return for your trust, I will neither judge nor lecture. Instead, I will listen closely to you-I will work to attune myself to you, so that you feel heard and understood. What I hear, moreover, is often different from what other people tell you they hear from you and indeed from what you tell yourself. Recognizing that difference is often key to beginning a process of healing and change.

I integrate the use of CBT, IFS, Psychoanalytic, Narrative, and Child-Centered Play Therapies.
Life is a journey of time and distance, meant, not only to move us along from one place to another, but to paint the picture and tell the story of who we are, how we feel, and how we positively influence the world around us. Like so many journeys, there are times we feel lost, tumbling in murky waters, wandering in a dark forest, or forgotten in some unlit cave. Who am I? Why “all of this?” Where is my relief? My sanctuary? How do I survive, much less thrive? Sometimes we need to take a look back at the things that have happened to us and what our part in this was in order to understand how we arrived at where we are.
