Tiera graduated from Walden University with her Masters of Science in Marriage, Family, and Couple Counseling. Her focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but she is open to other theories to find what best fits her clients and their needs. In CBT she would focus on understanding your thoughts and behaviors, and then process what can be done to challenge those negative thoughts and behaviors to become more positive.
She believes that life is going to do what life is going to do. The way you approach life challenges is all up to you. There comes a time when we all need someone to listen to us and hear what we have to say. She desires to be that someone for you. She offers a safe, non-judgmental environment to establish a trusting and compassionate relationship with her clients. One where you feel comfortable enough to be open and honest with her and more importantly, with yourself.
