About Tina
She uses a mix of talk-based approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often look at patterns that keep people stuck and build concrete skills for coping with strong emotions. Tina also spends time listening to what someone wants to keep or change about their life before suggesting a path forward.
Her work includes support for relationship struggles, parenting stress, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, commitment worries, and the emotional effects of medical issues like cancer. Tina pays attention to how life changes and aging affect priorities and mood.
Across her practice she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused methods. Those tools are used in straightforward ways - to clarify goals, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors between sessions.
With nine years of clinical experience Tina aims to make the work clear and manageable. The first step is a short conversation to identify priorities and decide what to try next.

How her approaches translate to online work
Tina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in work focused on stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy involves open, nonjudgmental listening and helping people name what they want to change. It works well when someone needs space to sort out values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Tina aims to learn about a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try together. She will adjust techniques over time based on what feels useful and what isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try therapeutic tools in the context of their daily routine, which can help with building new habits and tracking progress.
