Introduction

Hi there! My name is Tessa, and I am a social worker with experience in working with clients through life transitions, anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and relationship issues. I practice client-centered and holistic therapy, as I want to get to know the whole person. I constantly strive to meet clients where they are, and work towards goals they establish. Beginning therapy is an active choice, and I am so glad you have taken that first step! If you have been feeling like you need someone to talk to, or overwhelmed by life, my strengths-based approach to therapy could be a great fit. I enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety, over-thinking, work-life balance, and life transitions. I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate their lives using practical therapeutic skills that they can actually use day to day. I create a non-judgmental space where clients can be themselves, and share how they feel without fear. I am very open to your coming to the table with your own ideas about therapy and how you want to start this journey. My style is very collaborative, and I am not afraid to be with you when things get hard and challenging. Let's figure it out together!
