Meet Tierrah

I pride myself on helping my clients manage “real life” issues and strategize coping techniques to deal with stressors. I am known for providing services in a direct and relaxed manner. As an integrative psychotherapist, I utilize a variety of orientations and therapies according to each client’s individual needs. Clients are encouraged to discuss anything that may be hindering them in life in a nonjudgmental environment. I continue to stay current with progressive therapies to better serve my clientele. I operate from a holistic, strength-based, positive, and affirming perspective.
