A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Tessa — a dedicated Associate Marriage and Family Therapist here to help kids, teens, young adults, and families turn life’s challenges into opportunities for growth.
I believe therapy should feel like a deep breath — a space where you’re not just heard, but truly held. Every person and family has their own story, and I’m passionate about helping you uncover your strengths, reconnect with what matters most, and find a path forward that feels authentic to you.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, family tensions, major life shifts, or simply feeling stuck, I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, connection, and resilience — at a pace that honors your unique journey.
Outside the therapy room, you’ll likely find me curled up at a coffee shop, hanging with my pets, or enjoying time with loved ones. I truly believe in the power of healing, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they create meaningful change.
Let’s take that first step together — your story matters, and I’m here to help you write the next chapter.
