Current Practice

“Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.” ―Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

Tanya's primary experience has been working with autistic children and teens, but they also support all populations with diverse needs. Tanya offers an accepting, safe, and welcoming space for clients to pursue their journey and witness their personal growth. They strongly believe that when emotional, psychological, and social well-being are prioritized, humans are able to thrive no matter what choices they make. Tanya wants to collaborate together with their clients on their needs and goals, creating solutions while pulling from a variety of efficacious treatment approaches. Pursuing this journey may not be an easy one, but the goal will always be to make the therapeutic experience positive and rewarding!
