HOW I HELP

Practical support, grounded in real life.

Tatiana works with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, and the pressures of military life. As a military spouse, mother, and immigrant who came to the United States as a teenager, she understands how relationships, identity, and major life transitions can affect emotional well-being.

Her approach is collaborative, warm, and tailored to each client. Drawing from EMDR, trauma-informed CBT, and relationship-focused therapies, she helps clients understand patterns, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change—often with the sense of humor that helps people feel comfortable being themselves.

"“You can be strong and capable - and still need a place where you don’t have to hold everything together.”

AREAS OF SUPPORT

Support for what feels heavy, stuck, or difficult to change.

Depression, Anxiety & Stress

Support when you feel hopeless, fearful, overwhelmed, uncomfortable in your own skin, or unable to move forward.

Military Members & Families

Experienced support for service members, veterans, caregivers, and families facing crisis, transition, trauma, or the lasting effects of military life.

Relationships & Family Conflict

Collaborative care for individuals, couples, and families navigating conflict, disconnection, changing roles, and painful relationship patterns.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma-focused care, including EMDR, to reduce distress and help past experiences feel less present in daily life.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to feeling better.

Tatiana believes that you are the expert on your own life. Her role is to bring clinical expertise, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental perspective as you work together to understand what is keeping you stuck and identify what will genuinely help.

She tailors therapy to each client, drawing from EMDR, CBT, attachment-based therapy, the Gottman Method, and trauma-focused care. Some sessions may be active and skills-based, while others focus more deeply on healing from painful experiences. Throughout the process, the work remains collaborative, supportive, and grounded in the changes that matter to you.
