Meet Tonia

Welcome! I am thrilled you have chosen to share some of your valuable time with me and I look forward to getting to know you. When we meet I will invite you to sit, get comfortable. Until then I hope you take this moment to take a breath and recognize you are not alone. I am here for you.

I am a mother of 5 creative and challenging children, including 2 teenagers, each unique with their own struggles, strengths, and needs. So, I get it! I understand how overwhelming life can be; the feeling of being lost, the sadness, the anger, of failing, the feeling of wanting to give up and that it will never get better. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I am living proof that it does get better and I would be honored to help you get there.

My Background

I know that sometimes we get lost in the darkness and need help to find the path that leads to the light. I am a provisionally licensed Counselor and a Registered Dance/ Movement Therapist. I received my counseling degree from Columbia College, Chicago in 2015 and had previously earned a masters degree in Education from The Ohio State University in 2008 (Go Bucks!). In life and in counseling, I combine my life experiences with my formal training to provide my clients with a moment to take a break, regroup, and figure out how to move forward in an empowered and fulfilling way. Each of my clients is provided with an experience that is unique to them as we are each unique and have unique stories and paths to travel. Meeting you where you are on your journey and empowering you to move forward is my passion and gift. I am here for you.
