what it's like
My ideal clients are anxious high-achievers and ambitious perfectionists who want to create balance and find purpose in their lives. They value both their mental and physical health and want to build healthy relationships that last. They are excited to do the work in therapy and aren't afraid of a challenge.
Whether you’re trying to figure out who you are as a woman, or if you’re healing from past trauma, you probably want to find confidence, clarity, and peace. If you’re ready to stop doing the same old sh*t, let's f-ing go.
My clients come see me for many different reasons, including trauma, ADHD, anxiety, complex trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, family issues, healthy communication, identity crises, friendship issues, relationship issues, stress, imposter syndrome, feeling stuck, quarter-life crises, work-life balance, big life changes, and burnout.
who you are
When you're with me, you might feel like you're talking with a longtime friend. I am charismatic, silly, and relatable. I believe that therapy is a conversation and not just you doing all the talking. I will occasionally drop an f-bomb and you're free to do the same.
I’ll work to help you feel comfortable to share your deepest fears and insecurities at a rate that feels safe. You can trust that I always have your best interests at heart.
I offer hope and humor regularly in session to help you to grow into your best self. I am not afraid to tell it like it is, and will deliver my observations and challenges as gently as possible.
My current clients describe me as grounded and having a "velvet hammer" approach--I'll give it to you straight in a way that doesn't sting.
"Tina is the definition of loyalty. She always wants what’s best for others and will do anything she can to help, even if she doesn’t always agree with them (or if they don't agree with her). She has a great memory for the details of your life which makes people feel special. Tina knows how to ask the right questions to make even the most stubborn think about things differently."
Our first session (the intake) will be 90 minutes long. Each session afterwards typically lasts 50 minutes. I also offer longer sessions (90-120 minutes) if you need more time.
I recommend consistent weekly or biweekly sessions, so we can get to know each other and build momentum. We’ll talk about how to make this work for you.
I have all your payment information ahead of time, so there’s no awkward swiping at the end of each session. My dog, Tank, is a certified therapy dog and attends most sessions.
If you're wanting couples therapy, or if you identify as male, my colleague Clayton Clark might be exactly who you're looking for.
the details
When it comes to therapy, one size doesn’t fit all. Part of counseling at The Therapy Studio includes getting creative: We’ll identify where your lifestyle isn't working for you, and create a custom, action-focused approach as we get to know each other (aka, let's get to work).
This allows me to combine the best of several different therapeutic approaches, primarily parts work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Brainspotting.
I take relational approach to therapy, which means I believe deep healing can happen through the relationship between me and you. I'll give you resources to further your work outside of session if you want them, but don't think homework is necessary to feel change.
I promise that our sessions together will be as unique as you are.

FAQ
So you’re feeling some nerves about meeting me for the first time. Guess what—that’s normal!
Once you get to the office, you’ll walk right into the waiting room where I will grab you at our set appointment time—no need to get there 10-15 minutes early, as you’ll complete all the forms I need from you online before your first visit.
We’ll spend the first few minutes of our session going over some introductory information about therapy, and we’ll use the rest of our time (about 90 minutes total) getting to know each other, reflecting on what brought you here, and setting goals for your treatment. You don’t need to do anything to prepare for your first visit after you complete the online paperwork—just show up.
Research has shown that therapist-client fit is the best indicator of change and growth in counseling. This means that I could be the smartest, coolest, most experienced, and recommended therapist in all the land, but if we don’t have that fit—that trust you need to have to share your most personal aspects of your life—we aren’t going to make much progress.
I will regularly check in on how therapy is going for you and encourage you to be open with me with your thoughts on our time together. It is so important to me for you to have a therapist you trust—even if it isn’t me—and am happy to offer you referrals to other therapists if we aren’t a good match.
