This is for the women who think, feel, and dream in color—the ones who have always lived with an inner world far more vibrant than anything they were allowed to show.
It’s for the intuitive women, the artists, the writers, the dancers, the designers, the actresses, the deep-feelers, the former gifted children who learned to excel but never learned how to rest; the ones who were praised for their brightness yet quietly punished for their sensitivity.
It’s for the women who sensed the world differently from the beginning—who saw beauty where others saw nothing, who felt the emotional temperature of a room before anyone spoke, who carried imaginations too large for their childhood homes.
And now, as adults, many of these same women find themselves whispering:
“I thought I’d be further by now.”
“I miss the girl I used to be.”
“Is it too late to become who I really am?”
It isn’t too late.
You are finally returning to yourself. I work with women who are in the tender, powerful process of becoming—women who feel a shift in their identity, creativity, spirituality, or inner landscape and know it’s time to honor the parts of themselves they silenced to survive.
This includes women who:
My approach blends Feminine Psychology, depth-oriented therapy, creativity, intuition, somatic understanding, and identity work to help you reclaim the parts of your soul that have been waiting to come forward. This is a sanctuary for the women who:
Here, your sensitivity is not a problem. It is your artistry. It is your power.
In therapy, we explore your becoming with gentleness, intelligence, and creative depth. We tend to the emotional, artistic, and spiritual layers of your story. We help you reclaim expression, beauty, softness, identity, and courage.
We honor your imagination as a legitimate form of wisdom.
You are allowed to become the woman you once dreamed of being.
This is therapy for women who live in color— and are finally ready to step into the fullness of their own light. You were never meant to heal in monochrome.
I’m Tawnya—a therapist, intuitive, "former" gifted child and lifelong sensitive raised in the Pacific Northwest. I've always been drawn to the quiet wisdom of creativity, ancestry, and the inner world. My work is rooted in integrative, depth-oriented therapy for women who think, feel, and dream in color (metaphorically speaking). I believe healing is both an art and a biology—a weaving together of mind, body, spirit, environment, and the stories we carry.
From my Scandinavian roots, I bring a love of simplicity, ritual, warmth, and the gentle seasonal rhythms of hygge. My logo features the Swedish dala horse, a symbol of strength and courage.
Professionally, my path has included work in crisis respite, county corrections, inpatient and outpatient settings, and residential treatment. These experiences shaped my deep respect for the complexity of the human nervous system, trauma recovery, and the quiet resilience of sensitive people.
I hold a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies and Gender Studies. My continuing education includes training with Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score), Annie Hopper (DNRS), Leslie Korn (Integrative Medicine for Mental Health), Karen Pryor (Pain & Neuroplasticity), Robert Schwarz (Energy Psychology), and professional education as a Death Doula. I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional and a licensed therapist in both Kansas and Oregon.
I work especially well with intuitive, artistic, sensitive, intelligent women—the former gifted girls, the deep-feelers, the creative souls, the adult dancers returning to their bodies, the actresses and writers, the quiet dreamers who have carried entire inner worlds without ever being fully seen.
Together, we make room for who you are becoming.
Whether we’re exploring nervous-system regulation, emotional clutter, chronic stress, grief, creative identity, ancestral patterns, or the deeper stories written inside your home and habits—I offer a sanctuary for unraveling, rebuilding, and reimagining your life.
If you’re seeking a space that is warm, relational, aesthetic, and grounded—a place where your sensitivity is honored rather than minimized—I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I do not offer: Couples counseling or therapy to those under age 18 • Structured DBT programs • Crisis counseling or active SI/SA stabilization • ADHD evaluations, court documentation, Emotional Support Animal (ESA) consults/letters or general assessments
You don’t need to be an actress, dancer, or painter to belong here. If you think deeply, feel intensely, imagine vividly, or crave beauty, expression, meaning, or softness—this space is for you. You can be creative simply by being a person with an inner life.
A mix between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Experiential Therapy, it means we focus on your whole life, not just your thoughts or symptoms. Together, we explore how your daily routines, nutrition, spiritual practices, relationships, chronobiology and environment impact your emotional health. You’ll learn practical, sustainable tools to create rhythms that support your nervous system and align with your values.
Feminine Psychology explores the inner lives, emotional worlds, identities, and spiritual experiences of women. It honors sensitivity, intuition, creativity, embodiment, and relational depth as strengths—not weaknesses. Instead of asking women to “toughen up,” Feminine Psychology asks: What happens when you soften, listen inwardly, and live in alignment with who you truly are? While not strictly for women, most of my clients are women who feel pulled toward a gentler, more intuitive approach to healing.
Most traditional models were built on masculine ideals of independence, logic, and performance.
Feminine Psychology values:
It sees women not as symptoms to manage, but as souls unfolding.
Therapy is most effective when it’s intentional and aligned. Over the years, I’ve learned that I do my best work with those who are introspective and seeking sustainable healing — not just symptom relief. While I deeply respect all therapeutic paths, I no longer provide broad or crisis-based mental health services. By staying grounded in my niche, I can offer deeper expertise, steadier presence, and care that truly reflects my values. I practice what I call boutique therapy — maintaining a small, carefully curated caseload so that each client receives deep, individualized attention. This allows sessions to unfold at a slower pace, with more space for reflection, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle integration.
