Hi, I’m Tishna.
I’ve always been drawn to the deeper layers of people—the parts we often hide, the parts shaped by pain, and the parts still longing for connection and expression. That pull toward depth is what led me to become a therapist.
My work is grounded in the belief that we heal through relationship: with ourselves, with others, and with the wounded parts we’ve had to protect. I offer therapy that supports people in untangling old emotional patterns and creating a more spacious, meaningful way of living.
I hold space for your past, your present, and who you’re becoming—with steadiness and care. Your adaptations kept you safe. Healing doesn’t require you to abandon them, only to understand them.
Clients often tell me they feel comfortable quickly in our work together. That sense of ease is important in this work. Therapy doesn’t require intensity to be meaningful—it requires safety. I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, impress, or explain yourself perfectly. We move at a pace that feels grounded and real.
My Approach
I believe healing happens in relationship.
As a relational therapist, I center the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. When we feel safe and truly seen, transformation becomes possible. I tailor our work to your needs, drawing from depth-oriented talk therapy and mindfulness-based experiential approaches. My clinical lens is informed by Attachment Theory, AEDP, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Mindful Self-Compassion. Together, these approaches support us in exploring your inner world with clarity and compassion.
My Background
I began my professional journey working with children and families in early education and residential treatment. I originally thought I would focus on helping children—but I found myself increasingly drawn to the adults behind those stories, and to the ways early experiences shape emotional life across time.
Today, I work exclusively with adults, supporting them in reconnecting with the parts of themselves they once had to hide in order to survive.
Before opening my private practice, I worked in community clinics, schools, advocacy centers, residential treatment, and university counseling settings. These experiences deepened my clinical perspective and reinforced my belief in the strength and wisdom people carry—even when they feel lost.
