Welcome to a Space Where Judgment Has No Place

Hello, I'm Tiauna, and I am honored to welcome you to a safe, compassionate space where your healing and personal growth are the priorities. This is a place where you can openly express yourself, process difficult emotions, and take meaningful steps toward creating the life you desire.

With over 20 years of experience in mental health, education, and social services, I have had the privilege of supporting teens, adults, and families through some of life's toughest challenges. I’ve worked with students navigating academic and emotional struggles, and I've spent time in family shelters and residential group homes, witnessing firsthand the incredible resilience of individuals facing adversity. These diverse experiences have deepened my commitment to advocating for those who are often overlooked and empowered me to help people transform their challenges into powerful opportunities for growth and change.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and collaboration. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can process past experiences, build healthier relationships, and rediscover your purpose. Whether you're coping with anxiety, sadness, trauma, self-exploration, or any other emotional challenge, I am here to guide and support you.

I draw from evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor our work to your specific needs. With CBT, we will work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress, replacing them with healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking. Mindfulness practices can help you become more present, reducing stress and increasing emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy allows us to focus on your strengths and resources, empowering you to find concrete solutions to your current struggles.

My goal is to empower you to uncover your strengths and build resilience so you can confidently navigate life's challenges. We will collaborate to identify your goals, track your progress, and ensure that you feel supported every step of the way. I believe in the power of transformation, and I’m here to help you break through barriers, rediscover your inner strength, and move toward greater emotional and mental well-being.

I hold a Master's degree in School Counseling, Administration, and Leadership, and I am currently furthering my expertise by pursuing an Advanced Certification in Clinical Mental Health. This ongoing education ensures that I stay current with the latest research and therapeutic approaches, allowing me to provide the most effective, evidence-based care for you.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and reading—activities that help me recharge and bring balance to my own life. These experiences enrich my perspective, allowing me to connect more deeply with my clients and bring a compassionate, grounded approach to our work together.

If you’re ready to take that first step toward healing and growth, I am here to support you. Let’s work together to create a path forward that is rooted in resilience, purpose, and peace of mind.
