TaDonya helps adults overcome the negative effects that stressful or traumatic life experiences have on how a person thinks, feels and behaves. She specializes in upsetting events, trauma recovery, early relational trauma, adult children of narcissistic parents, and self-esteem matters. She helps adults identify and resolve how their past is unconsciously coming into play in their present and causing them to not feel good enough, to feel stuck, or to repeat situations in their career or personal life. Ultimately, she helps her clients find meaning in these experiences and have a more authentic connection with themselves, so they can have a more genuine connection with others.

While she understands many models of therapy, the theories & therapeutic approaches she utilizes the most are Reality Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
