Tanner (he/him) is an Associate Mental Health Counselor who takes a collaborative and curious approach to therapy and prioritizes building a safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. He believes meaningful change happens when clients feel respected, understood, and actively involved in the therapeutic process.
Tanner's work is informed by evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and somatic interventions. His approach is goal-oriented and values-driven, centering each client's lived experience while offering practical tools for insight, emotional regulation, and lasting change. He works affirmatively, honoring clients' identities, values, and autonomy.
Tanner has experience working with youth and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, major life transitions, and identity-related concerns, including LGBTQ+ experiences and faith transitions. He is especially attuned to clients who feel stuck in long-standing patterns or are seeking clarity, self-understanding, and greater alignment in their lives.
