About Tina
She creates an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and for people recovering from abuse or loss. Sessions focus on building self-esteem, improving communication, and learning healthy coping skills. Tina uses mindfulness and emotionally focused work to help people notice patterns and respond differently.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered care and existential thinking. That means she listens for what matters most to each person and asks clear questions about values and meaning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is among the tools she may use when trauma memories are part of the story.
Tina also brings coaching-style support for practical life goals. She helps people set realistic steps for work, relationships, and daily routines like sleep and eating. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
People who work with her can expect collaborative sessions and straightforward guidance. She invites clients to explore their history, uncover patterns, and try new ways of coping. The aim is steady progress toward clearer decisions and more reliable emotional balance.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and responding to what matters most. Online sessions can use this approach to help people clarify goals, sort feelings, and make straightforward plans for change.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift interaction patterns and emotional responses. In virtual sessions this can support people working through relationship distress, attachment issues, or strong emotional reactions by practicing new ways of relating and expressing needs.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and images. When used online, the therapist guides memory processing and helps the client complete steps that reduce the intensity of painful recollections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. It can also make scheduling shorter or more frequent meetings possible to match practical needs and life rhythms.
