Tina earned a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University and holds an LCSW in Virginia. Over thirty years she has practiced in a variety of settings, working with individuals facing both everyday stressors and complex challenges.
If someone is ready to make a change she aims to offer support and encouragement during that process. The initial steps focus on building trust, clarifying goals, and finding small, manageable steps toward better sleep, mood, and functioning.
Evidence-based techniques for better sleep and coping
Many of the methods Tina uses focus on practical skills and behavior changes. One common approach teaches short, specific techniques to manage anxiety and stress in the moment, such as breathing, grounding, and activity scheduling to reduce rumination and nighttime worry. These skills can help people who struggle to fall or stay asleep because their mind is racing.Another approach emphasizes building routines and small habit changes that support rest. This involves reviewing daily patterns, evening routines, and coping methods, then trying clear steps that make sleep more likely. These strategies often pair well with work on mood, motivation, and daily structure when those areas interfere with rest.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with each person to identify what feels useful and realistic, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences. She aims to help people set attainable goals and practice changes between sessions.
