LMFT, 5 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I help couples learn to effectively communicate with one another and understand their relationship patterns, in order to help them build a stronger connection. Using an integrative approach, I help adult and adolescent clients begin to identify and overcome unhelpful patterns, and begin to heal and create a more connected, intentional, and authentic life.
In our first session together, my goal is to better understand what brought you into therapy, and what the goals of therapy are for you, including how the issues, as you see them, are impacting your life. At that point, we can begin to create a plan to reach your goals in following sessions.
I walk through the journey with my clients, working through the struggle, acknowledging the experience and celebrating the accomplishments. I help my clients see the unhelpful patterns present in their lives, and guide them to actively improve their relationships.
I am passionate about working with individuals that may be looking to improve their relationships or are struggling with transitional times in their life. Providing the tools they need to better understand themselves and others, often allow them to reconnect in ways they were unable to previously.

My first session with Tanya was nothing short of a relief. She is very warm, caring, and clear. I felt like a could finally take a deep breath. I appreciate how she was very clear on the goals, objectives, and expectations. It made me feel very calm and safe. When discussing things with her, I feel heard and seen. She pays close attention and catches things I've never even considered about myself, giving me a new perspective. All in all, she is amazing!
Attachment-based therapy can help a person build or re-build a safe, trusting and supportive relationship experience. This can help build connecting relationships outside of the therapy space with others.
Utilizing CBT can help identify negative thoughts and help us understand how those thoughts impact our behavior. CBT interventions (in the form of homework) can help alleviate the negative impact those thoughts and behaviors have in a client's life.
Using Psychodynamic Therapy, a client is able to gain a better understanding of their emotions and internal processes that may be informing their reactions, feelings, relationship with themselves, others and the world around them.
