She is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor–candidate (RTC-c) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). She has experiential learning in addition to her life experiences and so she understands the battles and challenges we face that can be the catalyst for change.
Tanya uses an empathetic, non-judgemental, and a holistic approach in her sessions so that you may explore safely and believes that there isn’t a “one size fits all” model in therapy. Some of the modalities she uses in her sessions are Mindfulness practice, Person-centered, Somatic, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Trauma-Informed counselling.

She has always enjoyed connecting with others and realized after going through a pandemic and listening to her clients struggles, she felt passionate about coming along side and helping those who need someone to listen to and help give the tools necessary for change.
