About Me

I am a licensed professional counselor with a Masters Degree in Counseling from Virginia Tech, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Counselor Education from the University of Maryland, and a Doctorate in Higher Education from Morgan State University. My passion for the mental health fields comes from being a part of a person’s journey of transformation, from the beginning point of confusion and frustration to the end goal of direction and confidence. It is truly a privilege to witness my clients’ discovery process as they identify their definition of success and move forward to achieving their goals and dreams.

I have 25 years experience treating adults and adolescents 13+ with various mental health and adjustment issues including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I specialize in assisting individuals and couples navigate life transitions related to relationships, parenting, workplace and career issues, and grief and loss. The diverse clients I have assisted include individuals and couples of all ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations.

I take a person-centered and holistic approach to better understand where clients are developmentally. I also use an integrative approach in customizing a treatment plan that works best for each client. CBT and strengths-based therapy are often utilized in helping clients identify goals and develop solutions that are meaningful to them.

Written by N.A. on May 18, 2021 after therapy with Tonya for 4 months on issues concerning depression, lgbt, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd

I started seeing Tonya at a very dark time in my life and found her support to be extremely helpful. Meeting with her really feels like being a part of a team, where the two of you are working together as equals towards the same goal, and I really appreciate that. She offered some great ideas to improve my daily health and functioning, and she was respectful and flexible when I told her which ideas worked for me and which ones didn't. She even gave me some advice on my job hunt and resume, which was very helpful when I needed to get out of a rut.

Written by E.V. on Dec 30, 2020 after therapy with Tonya for 3 weeks

I came to Tonya with a specific, but deeply entrenched, problem that I'd been unable to solve on my own. After several sessions with her, I had a clear path forward. Tonya was empathetic and insightful. I felt like she really listened to me and respected where I was coming from. She is LGBTQ competent, and I felt comfortable talking about my religious practices with her although we are from different backgrounds. She was extremely helpful and I would absolutely recommend her as a counselor.
