About My Clients
Experiencing trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected from your body, or stuck in people-pleasing and minimizing your needs. These responses may no longer feel supportive, but for a long time they helped keep you safe. In therapy, we'll begin exploring them with care, build safety within, and begin prioritizing yourself and your needs. You are welcome here exactly as you are and you get to decide what we explore, the pace we move at, and what feels right for you.
My Background and Approach
My name is Tova, and I’m an LPC-Associate working at North Texas Family Therapy under the supervision of Ashley Kuehne, LPC-S. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in trauma from Southern Methodist University and am currently working toward certification as a Somatic Therapy Foundations Practitioner (expected Fall 2026). I take a trauma-informed, relational approach and draw from systems theory, somatic work, and IFS-informed practices. My goal is to support nervous system healing and help clients gently shift patterns that once supported survival toward ones that better support healing. I have experience working with folks who’ve experienced sexual, religious, and complex trauma, as well as clients recovering from eating disorders, navigating anxiety, or experiencing relational distress. Therapy with me is collaborative. Rather than rushing toward change, your needs and feelings guide our wor
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that to truly heal, therapy needs to be a space where you feel safe to exist exactly as you are. Healing won’t look the same for everyone, so I tailor my approach to meet individual needs while offering the same care, respect, and attention to every client. I work from a trauma-informed lens, grounded in the understanding that systems play a meaningful role in shaping our lived experiences. My hope as a therapist is to work collaboratively with each client to create a space where they can fully be themselves. I’m committed to ongoing learning and doing my own work so I can continue showing up as a safe and thoughtful presence in the therapy room. I work to create spaces where bodies, identities, and experiences are met with respect and care, and where people feel supported in showing up as they are rather than how they think they “should” be.
