Cultivate healing & growth through creativity
Hello! I’m Tina, a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist based in Issaquah, Washington. My approach to therapy is whole person-centered and collaborative. I have a person-centered, DBT informed and collaborative approach, working with my clients to create space in their lives for both change and acceptance.
I understand that seeking help can feel daunting—scary, intimidating, and even exhausting. I am dedicated to partnering with you throughout this journey, supporting your growth and helping you move forward in your unique story.

My services
Art Therapy
"Art therapy is a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship."(American Art Therapy Association)
Art therapists are credentialed mental health professionals trained in a wide range of psychological theory and can work in a variety of settings and with every population. You don’t have to have any particular art experience or expertise to participate in art therapy and minimal materials are required. I provide clients with a materials starter kit if they are interested in using more than a paper and pen during sessions.
Individual Sessions
Ongoing individual therapy sessions tailored to your goals and schedule. Finding a therapist can be a challenge, and it's important to feel connected and safe every step of the way. I encourage clients to share their ideas about goals along with any past experiences (what worked and didn't work) with previous counselors.

Our partnership
“In our sameness we connect, in our differences we grow.”
My work is grounded in an integrated approach that incorporates various therapeutic modalities, which you can think of as paths in a forest. Not every path is suitable or desirable for every client, so it’s my role as a counselor to focus on your specific values and goals throughout your therapeutic journey.
Here’s a brief list of some of the modalities and skill sets I utilize to guide our work:
Trauma-Informed Care
Narrative Therapy
Family Systems Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Neurodivergent Affirming Care
Person-Centered Counseling
I have a background in community based mental health care and am a sex positive and LGBTQI+ and neurodivergent affirming clinician.
I recognize that mental health care is not separate or immune from racist systems and potentially harmful power dynamics. I am committed to identifying, addressing and dismantling those aspects within myself and within my control as a private health care practitioner and community member.
