Therapeutic Approach:
Tina strives to create a warm, welcoming, and trusting environment. Tina typically blends talk therapy with psychoeducation to help with processing experiences, building skills and resiliency, and promoting successful change outside the therapy office. She helps patients gain understanding and awareness of the body and mind connection using various somatic skills and holistic approaches. Tina works to help patients build confidence, self-understanding, and self-compassion to navigate and cope with stress. Tina finds value in looking at the symptoms, rather than the generalized diagnosis, and is skilled at “digging deep” to help understand patterns of behavior, thoughts, and belief systems. She also has a passion for identity exploration work and assisting patients in pursuing their authentic self. Tina also adheres to trauma-informed care, diversity competency and respects the individual’s right to autonomy.
Tina especially enjoys working with parents dealing with perinatal and postpartum struggles, general parenting stress, and difficulties with adjustment to parenthood. She has a passion for supporting new and seasoned parents with maternal/paternal mental health, while also teaching skills to help adjust and assisting parents in finding their authentic identity in parenthood.
Some of the therapy modalities utilized are Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Positive Psychology.
