Hi there, I'm Tanner!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that for someone to be able to progress in therapy, they must feel comfortable with the person they are working with. My first goal in therapy is to help those I work with feel cared for and comfortable. My approach to therapy is a combination of emotionally focused and experiential therapy.

My focus

I have a lot of experience working with those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I have worked with teenagers struggling in those areas, along with substance abuse. I also enjoy working with families and couples.

My approach

I am a very relationship-focused therapist. I help you see how you are connected with those around you in the world. I believe that if you are struggling to connect with others, you are likely to struggle in many other areas of life.

My communication style

My hope is that those I work with look forward to meeting with me. I hope that I am a person that they feel like they can tell to and know that I will always be there to support them the best I can as a therapist. Many of my clients, even after I am done meeting with them, will send me emails with updates on how they are doing in life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my journey in school with the idea that I would do something in business. I was able to see that I had the ability to help people, and this brought me a lot of joy. I was able to work in a residential setting and shifted my focus to human development, and then went on to get a master's in family therapy.

My goals for you

I like to work hand in hand with you when it comes to setting goals. I enjoy being very transparent in the treatment process.

Our first session

I like to get to know those that I am helping on a superficial level, along with the therapeutic level. I like to know what those I am working with are struggling with and how they hope to change. I also like to know if there is anything that they have done in the past in therapy that has not worked and they are not comfortable with.
