Learn your needs.

Accept your truths.

  • living with neurodivergence can make life 10x harder as a baseline. we communicate differently because of how much we can perceive and understand. in session i support you with: setting boundaries, addressing how to titrate between over and under stimulation, navigating non-traditional relationships, coping with life within a 9-5 work environment, setting and working towards goals in a way that works with your neurotype, forming a working sense of self and creating regenerative processes of creativity…

  • understanding what you need in each moment is essential to maintain that connection to what your needs are. because life is always changing - so will your self-care practices. i work with you to ideate easeful ways to meet your needs and create systems of care. so that you can move through your everyday life, best meeting your needs as you must carry on to survive and sustain your home.

  • navigating trauma healing with factors such as autism, ocd, adhd, anxiety, and depression is HARD. i support you in learning tools to support you in navigating reality and responsibilities - while making time to tend your trauma with clarity.

  • i work to support you in inquiring about the possible ways to create systems of care and support - where you are at in life with what you have access to.

  • i offer you creative practices to support you in establishing, sustaining and iterating your creative practices

  • becoming aware of what your preferences are for living environment, eat habits, internal processing, relationship dynamics, creative expressions or experiences, gifts, obstacles and more can be SO helpful. i review and digest your chart to teach you possible new ways to be in the world [and promote acceptance of what is truly you that you may be fighting with] that can support you.

sessions are designed for folks that may be: trans, queer, deep thinkers, social change leaders, neurodivergent beings, high achievers, corporate/NPO leaders, folks managing chronic pain/illness, or care givers. sessions are safe spaces to explore the impacts of your environment, your psyche, your somatic experience and your traumas. in life it is so easy to believe what you see and only trust what is familiar. genuinely curious coaching sessions support you in understanding yourself more. i provide you with questions and resources tailored to strengthening your own curiosity about yourself within the realities that you are navigating. the idea here is not to - fix or pathologize - rather to attune to your day to day reality and learn more about what can be more healing and helpful for you. i’m a coach and guide, committed to sitting with you and witnessing you as you witness yourself in all of your complexity and wholeness.

self-healing and creating new behaviors requires integration support, that’s what i’m here to help you with

without having the proper context or container to fully explore yourself, you can be neglected or unseen unintentionally. this is happening to humans every day inside of institutions and homes. we do not always have the tools or leadership available to truly be curious about ourselves and with one another - especially when you have neurodivergence, are a non-white person, or a creative. it can be too easy to get lost in translation and also very painful or traumatizing!

when i began my own journey in therapy more than a decade ago i couldn’t find a solution for self-exploration that accounted for and deeply understood: queerness, gender dynamics, subtle impacts of systems of power and oppression, non-white cultures, alternative ways of living, nervous system regulation, trauma informed care, creative practices, spiritual care, or neurodivergence.

i wanted to know myself. i wanted to feel it was safe and reasonable to exist i longed to be an example of whatever felt real for me as i evolved. i wanted to also fill this gap in a away that would sustain me beyond the moment. after more than a decade of experiential learning, apprenticeship, and study i now offer my coaching to support others who are like me: folks who are unable to check off one box to explain their identity, folks who are unable to choose one life path forever - folks who are dedicated to healing and just need some support to sustain their own self-evolution and sustenance…

so what is integration? what do i specifically do with my clients?

integration in this context refers to working with you to make sure that you are able to fully “learn,” what you need to make the changes you want. i work with you 1:1 to get clear on what is hindering and helping you on your healing journey. i support clients through: a creative questioning process to support your healing, creating custom journaling guides, somatic mind-body coaching, offering creative activities, body doubling, verbally processing, and more. i offer what i have learned from lived-experience, school, mentorship and my career to support you in navigating your life with more awareness - and hopefully more ease.

some things to know about my reflection session offerings:

  • i am here to support folks in understanding how to: 1. identify their feelings, 2. create processes that work for them to make meaning of their life, 3. understand what beliefs and patterns are impacting their behaviors, 4. be with the ways they are showing up in the world and how it impacts them and their community

  • i do NOT offer a licensed therapy practice. i have made the conscious decision to divest from the licensure process. this was a thoughtful choice made in an effort to focus on offering more eclectic and holistic coaching services that support with cultivating agency, exploring various forms of internal processing, non-traditional forms of relating, neurodivergent existence, trans & queer orientations to life, and lastly coping with the existential nature of climate change caused by all stages - but especially - late-stage capitalism. this also enables me to support folks without a region specific boundary. if you have specific questions about this, please email me directly. i also encourage you to review the disclaimers at the bottom of the page for more information. i help people who are able to take micro actions where they are in life. i unfortunately cannot serve anyone in crisis or in need of an opinion of a licensed practitioner for any procedures or work related accommodations. i don’t provide advice - i offer questions as i witness you in your process.

  • i offer a prescreening process for every client. i will only work with you if i feel qualified to support you. i don’t offer specific coaching packages because healing is non-linear. my sessions exist to support you in cultivating agency. you can rebook or cancel with me as you choose. any cancelations with less than 48 hours will require you pay a session fee.

  • each session is uniquely designed for each client. together we ground into your intention, abilities, cultural needs, spiritual tools, and learning style. together we align on your desires for the session and work to stay within those boundaries.

1:1 custom container

before we get started i offer a screening process to ensure we are a good fit. i learn your boundaries, emotional context, communication style, health needs, and personal goals.

what is a reflection session?

integration support

after every session i provide an integration guide which includes a summary of what we discussed, activity recommendations, resources, journaling prompts, and affirmations.

somatic therapy

i offer somatic therapy based in the practices of psychoneuroenergetics and what i’ve learned at the embody lab which is rooted in polyvagal theory, spiritual care, and psychoanalysis practices.

cultural care

every session is designed to support your cultural context and spiritual care needs. i offer art healing, divination support, human design, astrology, and more.

self-regulation

self-regulation

i offer my coaching to support creatives, leaders, and neurodivergent beings. my clients are open to discovering what it is they need to learn to live into their truest expression and potential. we do this together in sessions that help to create the ability to self-regulate, set boundaries, and name needs.

when folks are done working with me i hear stories of expedited: healing of traits and patterns that were limiting and unhelpful, trusting of their inner-voice, learning discernment and intuition skills, more pleasurable relationships, creating art or business offerings that center regeneration or reciprocity, and most of all - having more humor and acceptance for life regardless of the circumstance.

i offer my coaching to provide practical ways to remain curious and sustain genuine connection with yourself and others. this is the work i believe we need more now than ever to create a more nourishing and just world.

living life as a highly sensitive person is hard. living in a world without highly sensitive people in leadership, is even harder.

are you able to understand many sides to an experience because you can intuitively, feel it?

i thought that everyone was like this… growing up, i stumbled through life. i was constantly told i was over-thinking and over-explaining by others. i’ve spent most of my life trying to be less, feel less, and say less. i was taught at a young age that being a highly sensitive person (hsp) is a problem to fix, an issue to hide. after almost a decade of tending to my inner-worlds…

i believe that being a highly sensitive person is more of a gift, than it is a curse.

the over culture makes it seem like being highly sensitive is a curse. i’ve believed this for many years. i asked experts for answers. i traveled to find belonging. i didn’t ever find what i longed for. i’ve instead learned that nothing can zap out my own feelings of loneliness that exist because of my heightened awareness. i’ve learned that i can find joy in creating, connecting, and collaborating with others like me. i’ve learned that the deep work required of me as a hsp was to learn the intricacies of my nervous system, belief system, and relational ecosystem. it was almost as if as soon as i learned how to regulate my nervous system - i learned i was neurodivergent and that terminology helped me find community and build a practice based on reciprocity and agency centered care.

understanding the vastness of my own self and unique needs has allowed me to better relate to others and genuinely enjoy life.

my fellow neurodivergent humans know that we can trust ourselves. when i began my therapy journey i couldn't find any support that would work with my highly sensitive trait. i was told i can expect myself to always be: mentally preoccupied, deeply passionate about the people i love and all that i do. i was told that, i was permanently intense.

with no other story offered to me, i began to rewrite my own.

i was praised because i was highly functional. i begged for support and searched for aligned practitioners. i was told i was lazy, anxious, over-thinking things, too philosophical and pathologized as emotionally advanced in unique ways. i found myself to be a shiny, client to mental health practitioners. if i could do what they said so quick it meant i was okay in their eyes. i was frustrated because i knew i needed help beyond what they offered. i didn't know what that meant for me. i was seemingly self-sufficient to everyone around me but i was dying inside. i felt everything. i was doing everything. i felt alone all the time. one day i had a breakthrough…

i would learn what i needed to have support with by changing my habits and routine - on my own terms.

i studied and learned about what it was i was adapting to for my health. i began incorporating more rituals into my day to start my day, to help me trust myself. i realized i need more written instructions, alone time, and 1:1 processing to learn. i adjusted my life in so many ways and felt capable of trusting myself again. that’s when the deeper work called me forth. i began having space to rest and relax more and heard my thoughts more clearly, felt my body more often, and overall began to realize just how much meaning, feeling, and projection was stored within me.

i was determined to understand how to be with this all and created my own method of working through my interiority.

i mapped out the constellation of my internal; feeling, meaning, projections, and reflections. i got intimate with how i was showing up in the world. i got curious about why i was doing what i was doing. i noticed what thoughts were informing my emotions. i became familiar with where in my body i felt safe. i got clear in my relationships about where my emotions were flowing and why. this inner-work is unseen and very hard to articulate which is why…

i offer these services as a coach to help with orienting to their own needs and dreams.

  • “my session with tianna was phenomenal, emotional, clarifying and invited me to cross a threshold towards deeper integrity, alignment and creativity with my praxis, leadership and spirit. i had been approaching my misalignment with my work without oracular assisted guidance and tianna held space to tap into coaching that emerged from a place of intuition, divination and prayer. since our session, i have integrated their reflections and my life has deeply transformed towards my highest calling. i highly recommend Tianna for creatives seeking interdimensional growth so their offerings can emerge from their most authentic origins!”

    brontë velez, Creative Director, Lead to Life / Eco-Social Naturalist Educator, Weaving Earth

  • “i write this review six months after meeting with tianna, so when i say i’m not sure where to begin;  i truly mean i’m not sure where to begin. i say this because in this span of six months, many of the things tianna had forecasted have either come into fruition or is on its way towards happening. what i found most surprising, was the level of insight tianna was able to provide - all while being extremely articulate which made the experience more comprehensive.   i left our encounter with the feelings of excitement, joy, and ready for the unknown. which fortunately; i now had the upper hand of being a little bit more in the know.  thank you tianna, you are an unexpected gift!

    Rhob, CEO/Founder, RDD Interior Design

  • “tianna met me where i was at and helped me get to where i wanted to be. i have run a business with my brother for more than a decade. it was driving a wedge between our sibling relationship. after working with tianna i learned the next steps to take for our business to thrive relationally. i have also been in an amazing and freeing dynamic with my brother after many years of wishing for this i am forever grateful!”

    Jude, CST Therapist

  • “tianna has a gift of seeing beyond the ‘known’, during our session i felt so well held in my wholeness, and in the wholeness of the complexity of the world and the web of intersectional relationships. it felt both expansive and incredibly practical, helping me bring the vastness and complexity of my internal world into focus with clear identification of the central themes i am working with. in and after our time together i felt not only more seen and recognized and a deeper sense of belonging, but also more empowered on my path to resource myself, grow and lead through and with… what felt like challenge or disability came into deeper embodied belief that indeed perhaps my differences are my superpowers… i only wish i had more time with tianna, i fully recommend working with them and their capacity to support you on your path, where you want to go.”

    Siri Gunnarson, Wilderness Rights of Passage Guide

  • “working with t was such a gift. they weave in so many different modalities with such a depth of intuitive presence to the present-moment unfolding. they can dance between asking really astute questions, consulting guidance from the more than human, tracking embodiment and lovingly calling you out in a way that gets to the root. they’re playful, they’re mystical and overall just an absolute wonder. i felt very seen and held by them at a time when i felt really lost. would seek guidance from them any day.”

    Maya, Somatic Practitioner

  • “i so appreciate your time and guidance in all of this - you really have a gift for seeing and knowing people and i'm so grateful to have crossed your path.”
