Tasha is a thoughtful and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who is dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience, self-compassion, and self-awareness. She earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University and her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. From an early age, Tasha felt drawn to the helping professions and continues to believe deeply in each individual’s capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.

Tasha creates a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel supported in exploring difficult emotions, experiences, and life circumstances. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, encouraging clients to lean into discomfort while recognizing and building upon the strengths they already possess. Tasha believes that healing begins with self-acceptance and can be strengthened through mindful awareness, connection, and compassion.

Tasha works primarily with adults and young adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and significant life transitions. As an identity-affirming therapist, she is committed to creating an inclusive space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported in exploring their identities and lived experiences. She works collaboratively with clients to better understand their emotions, identify patterns that may be holding them back, and develop healthier ways of navigating everyday challenges.

In her clinical work, Tasha draws from mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and humanistic approaches to help clients challenge limiting thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and develop practical tools for daily life. She tailors her approach to each client’s individual needs, balancing structure with empathy, curiosity, and openness. Tasha believes that therapy should be a collaborative process where clients feel empowered to move at a pace that feels meaningful and manageable for them.

Tasha believes that meaningful growth often begins with learning to meet yourself with greater compassion. Her goal is to help clients recognize their strengths, develop greater emotional awareness, and build the confidence and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. She strives to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely supported while discovering new ways to move forward.

Outside of the therapy room, Tasha enjoys hiking with her three-legged dog, Levon, and spending time with her wife. She loves going to movies and plays, listening to live music, and finding moments of connection, creativity, and joy in everyday life.
