Her approach centers on creating a space where clients can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of experiences that may feel difficult to navigate alone. Together, she and her clients explore both past and present patterns, how relationships, beliefs, and coping strategies have developed over time, and how they continue to shape one’s emotional world today. Her goal is to support clients in cultivating deeper self awareness and moving toward meaningful, lasting change.

Before becoming a therapist, Tiana worked as a teacher with children from kindergarten through middle school. Observing children’s emotional and social development sparked her interest in family dynamics and the lasting impact of early relationships. This experience continues to inform how she understands both children and adults in her practice.

As part of her training at the Child Development Institute, Tiana studied attachment based approaches and worked with parents and infants in their home environments. Witnessing these relationships unfold in everyday life offered meaningful insight into how early bonds between caregivers and children form the foundation for later emotional wellbeing, relationship satisfaction, and a sense of security.

Tiana views therapy as a collaborative and evolving process. She welcomes ongoing dialogue about what feels helpful, what may need to shift, and how to work together to best support each client’s needs. Often, the therapeutic relationship itself becomes an important source of insight into patterns that show up in other areas of life.

She works with individuals, couples, families, and groups navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, life transitions, eating disorders, and parenting concerns. Her approach integrates psychodynamic, emotionally focused, and attachment based perspectives through a warm, collaborative lens, while remaining attentive to cultural and relational contexts.
