"I see you, I hear you, and I believe you."
Warm Affirming Humorous Personable Survivor-Centered Trauma-Informed

Hello! My name is Tiffany, and I am the founder of Honey & Twine Counseling.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing trauma-informed and survivor-centered care to clients impacted by sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, and complex intergenerational or developmental trauma.

I also have experience providing individual therapy for children and adolescents navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief and bereavement, bullying, and complex trauma. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I have provided family therapy and parent counseling to families seeking additional support for their child or hoping to improve current family dynamics within the home.

I have specific knowledge and experience supporting survivors with developmental disabilities and survivors within the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to create an environment where each client feels seen, heard, believed, and supported as they begin to unravel the experiences and narratives that have become tangled over time.

Survivor-centered care for experiences that can feel deeply entangled.

Tiffany supports survivors of power-based personal violence while also working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, relationships, identity, mental health concerns, and family experiences.
