Hello. My hope as your therapist is to create a safe and comfortable place for children, teens, adults and families to learn new skills to communicate and manage their emotions and free themselves of the burdens of the past they carry and the negative thought and behavioral cycles that trap them in a life that does not allow them to reach their goals and experience the maximum amount of joy in their lives.

I have experience working with individuals, adolescents, children, and families.
Hi! I’m Tanya, and I and a part of the Help and Hope Counseling team. I am here to listen. Having been on my own personal journey towards healing, from a young age I was curious about how to help people live their best lives. I love to meet people where they are in their journey and walk alongside them to where they want to be. Deep down, we are all looking for connection and understanding. As we move through life, we inevitably encounter situations and events that make us feel isolated and alone. My purpose is to cultivate a therapeutic experience in-person or via telehealth that is collaborative, comfortable, and offers hope.

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and families. Addiction issues, loss and trauma are also areas that I enjoy working with. I have worked with all ages and cultures and love seeing people overcome their obstacles and move forward in their lives; feeling lighter, happier and able to achieve their dreams and goals. I know people are capable of achieving happiness and connections in their lives with additional supports and can become who they want to become with support and direction.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, but I welcome anyone who feels we might be a good fit.
Life is rough, but it is also wonderful. I believe in therapy as a means to help you increase your confidence in accessing the tools you need to get through life's trials. Utilizing an attachment lens, we'll work together to address current, past, and generational traumas as we uncover the roots of problematic symptoms and provide lasting relief. My favorite quote is from George Bernard Shaw- "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." I believe the therapeutic process is a means to empower you to create the life of your dreams.

It is my hope to utilize the therapeutic experience as a parallel process to help enhance parent- child relationships, relationships with others, but most importantly the relationship you have with yourself.
In childhood, our outside shapes the inside, and in adulthood the inside shapes the outside. -Chip Judd. Are you experiencing a disruption in your parent- child relationship by ongoing big feelings, conflict, miscommunication, and disconnection? Are you seeking to understand your child and bring harmony to your family dynamics? Are your childhood wounds seeping through current relationships? Relationships are complex and messy. Learning to master the skill of repair, reconnection, and healthy boundary setting can promote growth and resilience.

I have experience and training in working with Faith Expansions, (Christian and LDS/Mormon church) ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Betrayal Trauma, Child-Centered Play, Relationship Issues and more.
Hi! I offer a casual, open approach to therapy that includes humor, swearing, art, mental exercises, tears, and hope for the future. My approach is based on working to learn more about why we are the way we are to then show understanding and compassion. As we explore with curiosity we discover the reasons behind what makes us the way we are and gives us a sense of compassion, empathy, and validation towards the parts of ourselves we like the least. I believe that nothing is TMI (too much information) and work to develop a strong supportive relationship to learn about and celebrate my clients.

I work with children, adolescents, and adult individuals to help them with issues like depression, anxiety, and navigating difficult social situations.
Every person has a voice and I believe it is important for that voice to be heard. Relationships can be messy and complicated. Our voices can often feel lost in the chaos. I work with clients to help them be, and feel, heard. In addition, I believe that no two experiences are the same. This means that even siblings raised together will have different perspectives and experiences of their childhood. These differences can lead people to define the world differently than others around them. I help clients to identify these differences and explore the behavioral and emotional impact they have on current relationships.

My years of clinical practice have helped me to understand the value of an individual. Most people have the resources they need to manage the challenges they have, but they sometimes struggle to see the resources that are available to them. I use a solution focused, non judgmental, approach to help individuals resolve major life issues like addiction, depression, anxiety, and family and relational conflict. Individuals and couples can find affective attunement with themselves, their spouse, and their children, as they learn to strengthen who they are as individuals and become clearer about their own emotional regulation.
