She/Her/Hers

Tia obtained her bachelor’s degree in sociology and criminology from The Ohio State University, where she is currently a graduate student, pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work. 

Before joining Keller Counseling, Tia gained valuable experience working with teens and adults involved in the justice system. She specialized in understanding her clients’ life experiences, helping to identify mental health and environmental factors contributing to their situation. This honed her skills in motivational interviewing and an understanding of complex client backgrounds. 

Tia is interested in working with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Her goal is to empower clients by helping them develop effective coping skills and identifying their strengths and supports. Tia approaches counseling from a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective that pulls from various evidence-based modalities. Tia is committed to providing a personalized approach that aligns with each client’s unique goals.  

Tia is available for appointments Monday - Wednesday in person or telehealth. She is supervised by Abby Sillaman, LISW-S

In her spare time, Tia enjoys spending time with family, friends, and her dog, Queso, reading, trying out new restaurants, and leisure hiking.
