Supervised by Nicole Baker
Tasha believes in balancing strength-building with addressing life’s challenges to help clients cultivate resilience, discover a deeper sense of well-being, and create more fulfilling relationships for an increasingly meaningful life. She brings calming support to children through experiential play therapy that restores their natural ability to grow and heal, and offers a compassionate presence with adults using mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused, expressive art*, and somatic therapies* to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Tasha holds a Master of Arts in Holistic Counseling from Salve Regina University and a background in psychology and communication from the College of Saint Benedict. She brings experience from her work as a wellness counselor at Hazelden Betty Ford Center and training in Somatic Experiencing. Her approach is rooted in a strength-based, holistic framework that views problems not as flaws, but as natural stages of development and opportunities for growth.
Tasha also understands the unique challenges families face. She recognizes that teens are navigating the task of becoming their own individuals, while parents are preparing them for the journey ahead. With compassion and clarity, she helps bridge this gap, partnering to foster mutual understanding and a nurturing environment where both youth and parents can thrive.
Expressive Art is about giving your inner experience a voice when words aren’t enough.
In addition to understanding the “problem,” the process will guide you on a path to move into the solution by transforming the wisdom of your deeper self into a healthier way of relating to yourself and your environment. This method is especially useful for individuals living with physical symptoms such as chronic pain and illnesses or emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression interested in resolving the deeper issue we are called to understand. No artistic skill required, this process is simply about self-exploration, self-expression, and transformation.
At the heart of somatic therapy is the understanding that our bodies carry the stories of our lives: not just in our thoughts and memories, but in our muscles, breath, posture, and nervous system. Sometimes these stories show up as tension, numbness, restlessness, or disconnection.
Somatic therapy gently invites awareness back into the body, helping us notice what we’ve been holding, protecting, or silencing. Through this mindful attention, the body begins to soften, regulate, and release what no longer serves us.
Rather than “fixing,” the practice is about listening. Together we will create space to reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom and capacity to heal. The result is a greater sense of presence, peace, and belonging within ourselves.
