Tonia's approach to therapy is rooted in her Christian faith and informed by existential principles.

Tonia holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University Online and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Texas. Her academic background, combined with her personal experiences navigating family challenges such as death, divorce, suicide, terminal illness, and alcoholism, has cultivated a deep empathy and understanding for those grappling with life's complexities.
In addition to her clinical work, Tonia is also an author, having recently published a book that explores the often-taboo subject of being Christian, rejecting God, and contemplating suicide. This personal journey, which ultimately led to a strengthening of her faith and purpose, informs her therapeutic approach and allows her to connect deeply with clients facing similar struggles.
Clients working with Tonia can expect a compassionate, transparent, and practical approach to therapy. She often shares personal experiences when therapeutically beneficial and offers practical exercises to help clients reach their goals.
