About Tessa

People who think I'm a fit are often high-achieving individuals with an acute awareness of their problem(s) or symptom(s), have tried all the solutions they can think of, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in new, surprising, and unconventional ways. I intentionally push people 20% past where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!) and ensure they have the skills to navigate, manage, and address to discomfort long-term. My style is transparent, funny, collaborative, and experiential. My orientation borrows from Motivational Interviewing, Somatic-Experiential, and IFS. These modalities help me to understand you, your unique situation, and what’s actually helpful. I tailor each approach to your unique needs and situations. I work with individuals, relationships, and systems (families, polycules, workplaces, etc).
