Tanya’s previous clinical internship for her MSW program was at an outpatient behavioral health center.

These research studies primarily focus on HIV-prevention and harm reduction strategies, and she currently assists these studies as a graduate research assistant.

Tanya’s practice is grounded in communication and curiosity. She strives to provide a safe space in which clients can learn and grow.

Tanya enjoys spending time with her family, including her twin sister, and friends. She is an avid reader, loves connecting with friends/family over a yummy meal, and enjoys being outdoors/connecting with nature. Her favorite season is fall—she loves sweater weather, all things pumpkin, and baking fall-time sweets. Tanya is a fierce proponent of the mind-body connection and believes in the healing power of movement and mindfulness—she enjoys going on walks, doing yoga, meditating, journaling/writing, and hiking with her sister.
