Hi there, I'm Tina Kathleen!

I help you find the way to live your best life, as you define it. Together, we will discover exactly what that definition is and the steps to help you get there.

My focus

I work with driven, high achievers who are equally hard on themselves. I find success with those struggling with perfectionism, working toward high academic goals, or navigating career transitions. I also have a passion for working with military families, whose unique sacrifices and challenges need acknowledgment and exploration.

My approach

My approach is strengths-based, building on the relationships, activities, and belief systems that support your ability to thrive. I use a systems lens to remove blocks to sustainable change and cognitive behavioral insights to address thoughts that may keep you stuck in challenging patterns.

My communication style

You'll find my communication style to be gentle and encouraging. I will hold space for you, for what you need. Whatever surfaces will be met with acceptance. We will also seek humor where possible, as laughing is incredibly healthy and motivating.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist is a natural extension of my way of being in the world. I am interested in learning all that I can about making life meaningful and having a healthy relationship with self and others. Blending spiritual wisdom with the scientific provides balance in my role as a therapist.

My goals for you

Your goals are unique to you and will drive our time together. Drawing on acceptance and commitment therapy, we will work together to accept what is happening now and seek to make those changes to move the needle toward your goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be focused on completing a full history so that I can get the big picture of what you bring to our work together. I want to hear about your experience with therapy, your thoughts about how it may help you now, and what you've tried so far.
