More about Tia
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I began my career in mental health providing services in residential care environments. I have worked with children and youth, adults, and seniors both in residential and outpatient settings. I have worked with a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss, and body image concerns. I also have experience working with substance disorders.
I enjoy a variety of activities in beautiful Central Oregon. I love to hike and camp with my dogs. In the summer I enjoy swimming and canoeing. I am an incurable rock hound and love finding treasures wherever I go. At home I enjoy a number of arts and crafts including sewing, knitting, spinning, paper crafts, beading, basket making, and many more. I believe having things in your life that bring you joy and not just important but are vital to a healthy happy life.
I am passionate about helping people find peace in their lives and enjoy watching people grow and achieve their personal goals. My purpose in our work together is to offer a listening ear, encourage you to clarify your needs and goals, and offer support for learning effective ways to manage stress, and improve resilience. I believe that the only expert on your life is you. I can offer skills and support, however, I will not tell you what you should or should not be doing in your life.
Currently I am studying somatic approaches to treating trauma. This addresses the physical symptoms and disturbances that are present following trauma. I particularly love working with individuals who have struggled with chronic or childhood trauma. If interested please let me know and we can discuss this more.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tia is a fantastic counselor!
I am so thankful for Tia listening to me and not judging me. She understands what I am going through and has provided me with ways to help cope/heal me. I will be continuing with Tia!
Tia has been an incredible support and resource for helping me process family and personal dynamics. She gets straight to the point and is direct when addressing issues and concerns. She has been attentive and prompt with responses as well. I would highly recommend Tia to anyone struggling with depression and anxiety.
Tia listens and yet doesn’t waste time with idle chitchat. I appreciate that so much.
I always look forward to my sessions with Tia. She gives fantastic emotional advice, grounds me in reality, and talks to me like a friend every time. Tia takes all the pressure out of counseling - you would be blessed to book her!
Thank you for the work you have done with me so far- I really appreciate it
Very responsive, reception and comforting. She validates my feelings which is exactly what I need during this tough time.
Very direct and good at questioning my logic. Helps me make sense of things and not let negative thinking get the better of me. Helps me challenge my thinking.
Even with only a couple sessions with Tia, I already felt supported, validated, and new that I had work to apply to myself that would help me tremendously.
I love my sessions with Tia. I’m so grateful for her and everything she’s helped me with. My life has changed for the better and I am excited for the future again.
Tia has been responsive, respectful, personable, and has a wealth of resources. She has been helpful in a stressful time in my life.
Tia is absolutely professional and so helpful. She takes the time to really listen and provide realistic methods and strategies, as well as getting to core issues and triggers. In the shirt time I have been working with her, she has helped me to be more mindful of my behaviour and thinking and she is always a message away with help and insight. Highly recommend!
