Tianna has been an intern therapist at La Europa since September 2024 and is in her final stage of the Master of Arts program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy through Lesley University. She has a robust background in the arts and earned two Bachelor's degrees before attending graduate school.

Her approach to clinical therapy work is grounded in person-centered, expressive therapies, and she strives to implement trauma-informed, strengths-based interventions to meet the unique needs of her clients. She leads with empathy, curiosity and compassion when building connections with clients and their families. Prior to interning at La Europa, she provided administrative assistant services in other treatment setting for three years, serving clients who were seeking access to therapy services and matching them with an appropriate therapist. In that setting, she developed a clinical eye and an understanding of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open DBT (RODBT).

Outside the office, Tianna enjoys creative expression in many forms. She is active in local cosplay and fandom communities and often brings her love of visual art, storytelling and creativity into the therapeutic process when it supports client growth. She has experience connecting with a wide range of students and is comfortable engaging around different interests, including pop culture, art, music, and dance, when it helps build rapport and open the door to meaningful work.
