Intro

Hi! My name is Tinesia from the Lone Star state of Texas! Through this journey of self-discovery-- whether it's navigating trauma, drama (relationships), or even your mama (mother wounds)-it can be hard to see self-improvement. You may be ready to use that life-line, if so I am available and willing to help you reach the other side.Through my education, experience, and additional certifications, I am well versed to assist you in adjusting to adulthood. Be that as: an an individual, a couple, or even as a family, we can build the necessary: coping, communication, and boundary setting skills you have been seeking to get to the next step. Let's Get Started!

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have worked  with the autistic, neurodivergent, and neurospicy community for my entire life. I have been passionate about working with the autistic community ever since I was a little girl who needed things a certain way or avoided certain sensory stimuli--wishing I wasn't alone in knowing that feeling. I am so excited for the renewed interest and education spotlight for this community that deserves respect and resources to help manage themselves.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe that our stims are our superpowers and we can make these "quirks" work for us and not against us. Knowledge is power, so I believe in learning yourself and utilizing that to function.
