About Tanya
MY APPROACH
Specializing in the Emotional Realities of Modern Life
I specialize in helping people navigate the emotional weight of anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, and identity transitions—especially those who look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or under pressure internally.
Whether you’re a high-performing professional, young adult in transition, creative navigating visibility, or part of a couple facing financial or emotional strain, my goal is to help you understand the deeper emotional layers that impact your well-being—and support you in moving toward clarity, self-trust, and resilience.
Active, Attuned, and Collaborative Therapy
I’m not a passive therapist who simply listens and nods. My style is engaged, direct, and emotionally grounded. I provide real-time feedback and insight, all within a deeply supportive space. Therapy with me is collaborative—we work together to untangle what’s holding you back and co-create meaningful strategies for change.
I integrate evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), IFS, and relational approaches—customized to your needs. Whether we’re addressing nervous system regulation, money-related emotions, perfectionism, or communication issues, our work will be personalized and practical.
My clients often include:
High-achievers & professionals managing burnout, performance pressure, or emotional over-responsibility
Young adults navigating identity, independence, and emotional overwhelm
Couples facing relational strain, financial tension, or communication breakdowns
Entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes & public figures carrying the invisible weight of success, visibility, or expectation
Individuals navigating trauma, grief, or life transitions that feel destabilizing
I also offer Financial Therapy—a specialty service that blends emotional insight with the psychology of money, for individuals and couples dealing with wealth transitions, financial anxiety, relational tension around money, and legacy-related identity stress.
The Space I Create
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered. I provide a warm, grounded space that honors your complexity and helps you reconnect with your inner clarity. This is a space for real conversations, meaningful growth, and emotional depth—delivered with professionalism, respect, and attunement.
Whether you’re processing trauma, stuck in burnout, unraveling the pressure of perfectionism, or ready to have better conversations in your relationship, I’m here to support you in doing the deeper work.
If you’re ready to begin therapy that’s modern, intentional, and tailored to your needs—I’d love to connect.
