A little about me.

Hi, I'm Tisha.

My pronouns are she/her.

As someone with lived experience navigating life as neurodivergent, I can relate to the ebbs and flows.  I adapted to life's lemons and bumps in the road with humor and a drive for strengths-based problem-solving.  Everyone's journey is unique and different. Spending time getting to know someone and their individual needs inspires me in supporting their mental wellness. Whether you are in the midst of it or on your way to healing, it might feel impossible. I am here to share that mental wellness is not a journey but an active lifelong process. 


Whether through a blog post, a resource, or therapy, I aim to see everyone as they are in their worthiness, even if they cannot - if you cannot. Authentic living and self-compassion are core beliefs that guide everything I do. I won't get it right all the time, and I don't pretend to be all-knowing. You are the expert on yourself, your child, and your family. I ask that you show up as you are - that's it. I will meet you there, where ever you are. I can find humor in the tensest of circumstances, so crying and laughing go hand in hand if we are sharing space together. 


I operate from a neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming and social justice perspective. Living authentically is naming my privileges and potential biases throughout my work, be it our work together, sharing anecdotes or resources. Counseling is meant to be affirming and inclusive. It's an honor to support people in this way and on their path to reconnection and mental wellness. 

It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, and what experiences have been deeply buried.

I wanted to grow up to be on Saturday Night Live. I hosted imaginary talk shows using wigs and accents, interviewing my family.  Somewhere, evidence of these shenanigans exists.

Houseplants make a house feel like home [to me]. Even when there are nearly 50.  It's the closest thing to living in a tree house, I suppose. The ability to keep them alive has been acquired as my first attempt with Moon Cactus, known to be very easily cared for, ended in their demise.

As an adolescent, I worked at a grocery store.  One of the odd jobs I was given was to wear brand mascots provided by vendors. I was free to wander about - the best gig! Some favorites were a chicken, Easter Bunny, and a banana.

Commitment

I strive to provide a safe space where all bodies and identities are celebrated.  I operate from an inclusive, affirming, trauma-informed, and social justice perspective. 


I am committed to ongoing work toward understanding my privileges, biases, and the impacts based on my identity. This requires personal growth, education, and examination of mental health practices and ideologies impacted by systemic oppression and discrimination.


I am grateful for the opportunity to support everyone who trusts me with their care.

ready to take an authentic path toward reconnecting to yourself
