About Trina
She draws on methods that address thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Sessions center on clear goals and on skills people can practice between meetings. Trina emphasizes listening first, then tailoring techniques that fit a person’s life and values.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where they are invited to describe what matters most to them. Trina helps people notice patterns that cause distress and then try small changes to test what works. She also supports processing loss, trauma, and relationship ruptures in ways that respect pace and readiness.
With eight years as a licensed clinical social worker, she blends several approaches into a practical, people-focused style. Trina encourages honest conversation about money, purpose, caregiving stress, and difficult emotions. She aims to help people leave sessions with one or two doable steps to try during the week.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and she keeps the early work simple and concrete. Over time, the focus moves toward lasting habits, clearer priorities, and more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns, and teaches specific tools to reduce worry, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates a listening space where the person’s goals guide the work, helping with grief, relationship strain, and feelings of isolation.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and making shorter check-ins possible when needed. They also let people maintain continuity of care across moves or schedule changes. If you prefer in-person meetings or a particular session format, verify those options during the matching process.
