Bring Healing and connection into your life
Tanja Fridolfs, MS, LMFT
You remember a time when feeling lonely and being overwhelmed weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
I’m Tanja, and I help individuals and couples just like you: Ones that have it within them to be healthy and thriving again, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find confidence, connection and trust, by equipping them with the tools they need to make choices that align with their values and build healthy relationships.
Many of today’s solutions for anxiety and relationship struggles are better communication, positive thinking or more self control, leading so many to feel defeated and hopeless when those things don’t work for them. I know that your circumstances are unique, so we will create a plan together to help you connect to loved ones in a genuine way and make choices that you feel good about to lead to a healthy and purposeful life.
First, we will meet together so that I can really listen and get to know you. We will identify the patterns that are causing the issues in your relationships and overall well being. Then, we will work on behavioral changes and effective ways of connecting that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll build skills and gain understanding that will help you feel more confident and fulfilled.

My training in relationships and anxiety means I have the expertise you need and deserve when you’re healing and growing. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a couple or individual struggling with disconnection and anxiety right?
I get it because I have spent many years working with couples and those struggling with anxiety. I know that sometimes you feel overwhelmed and scared of being alone. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
