About Tina
Her approach centers on listening closely and responding to each person's needs. She emphasizes emotional connection and safety while helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include exploring feelings, improving communication, and building skills for day-to-day life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and change painful interaction cycles. She also draws on mindfulness practices and EMDR for trauma work when appropriate.
Over nearly three decades Tina has supported people through losses, major transitions, and identity work. She has particular experience with LGBTQ+ concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Her work also covers eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and family of origin issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and creating a space where people can speak openly about what matters to them. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and clarifying personal goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns that shape relationships and reactions; it can be useful when people want to change how they respond in close relationships or reduce repeated conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories so they feel less disruptive in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match their needs. Decisions about which method to use are made together, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also use online meetings to guide mindfulness exercises, process memories with EMDR-adapted techniques, or focus on emotion and communication work. Ask about specific arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine and goals.
