Tessa’s therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques.

Tessa offers solution-focused and evidence-based practices to assist clients in developing the tools they need to face life’s challenges. She brings compassion, hope, and humor to every session, fostering a warm and supportive environment where clients can feel safe to be themselves.

When working with couples and families, Tessa helps improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. With teens and young adults, she provides a nonjudgmental space to navigate identity, stress, and self-esteem while developing emotional resilience and confidence.
