about TAINA

STRESS & BURNOUT. LIFE TRANSITIONS. INCLUSIVITY & LGBTQIA+. CREATIVE. ADVOCATE.

 

Let me guess - you’re feeling alone, have friends online and some in person, but still struggle to feel connected? You may feel lost trying to find yourself and figure out what makes you happy in this world. Do you find yourself staying up all through the night replaying that awkward encounter from your tween years? Do others tend to say you’re “soooo OCD” or “such a people pleaser”?

 

Then I may be just the right therapist for you. 

 

I’m a listener, an artist, and a first generation college graduate. Growing up as a member of Gen Z (and as an only child), I found myself in more than enough awkward social situations and leaned into the wonder of online communities. I know how important it is to know you aren’t alone. 

 

As a queer therapist, I have a passion for research and advocacy of all kinds, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve found so much light and hope working with individuals who have experienced trauma/PTSD, OCD, dissociation, depression and anxiety. My drive for advocacy work and breaking barriers along with my values of creating safe spaces and trusting relationships with clients has led me to find my calling in Clinical Social Work. I come from an empathetic, humanistic and holistic approach, evaluating all of the areas that play a part in your life to help you troubleshoot realistic solutions and find peace. My love for art and storytelling drives me to find evidence-based, creative solutions to provide you with the best support possible.

 

My clinical approach and belief system is that we must first create a safe place in our body and minds so we can in turn feel safe enough to create the life of our dreams. I help people explore their identity to find their true self and step into their power. I believe that every person is capable of bouncing back and seeing life in a new energized light no matter what part of your journey you’re on. Let me help you! 

 

EVERY person has the ability to take control of their narrative and live their best life, whatever that looks like for you! One of my favorite parts about the work I do is watching someone learn how to fall in love with life again. I look forward to working with you to uncover your passions and strengths to get your light back. 

 

You are the one you’ve been waiting for, it’s time to commit to your healing and go to therapy.

 

Let's utilize your inner power and courage to build your BEST!
