Hi there, I'm Dr. Tonya!

I'm passionate about advancing mental health care and improving the lives of those facing mental health challenges. My work is marked by dedication to clinical excellence, research, education, and community advocacy, all aimed at helping you find healing and hope.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. I help with depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD. For younger clients, I use creative and play-based therapies. For families, I facilitate conversations that strengthen bonds and support loved ones.

My approach

I provide individual, group, and family therapy using trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and strength-based interventions. My approach addresses depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD with tailored support that meets your unique needs.
