Meet Tanyeka

I provide counseling for individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, pre-marital, and sexual issues. I enjoy helping individuals and couples enhance and strengthen their relationships. My goal is to help individuals find greater meaning and purpose in life, and couples at all stages (dating, pre-engagement, marriage, and also re-marriage) develop greater intimacy in all aspects of their relationships. I believe that many individuals, couples, and families have created and endured narratives throughout their lives that may have caused difficulties, pain, and maybe some dysfunction. I desire to help these people to rewrite these narratives in ways that inspire hope and healing, and create new and healthy perspectives and lifestyles.

I enjoy helping individuals and couples enhance and strengthen their relationships.
