Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Tess, a licensed counselor and art therapist. I have a background in psychology, I use a mix of mindfulness, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and creative approaches to support healing. I specialize in helping people manage emotions, reduce stress, and build a better relationship with themselves. I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and tailored to you.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is more than just talking–it's a space to reconnect with yourself, get unstuck, and start living with intention. I blend depth with creativity, using both evidence-based tools and expressive approaches to help you move through what's heavy and discover what's possible. You'll leave each session not just with insight, but with real, usable strategies–and maybe even a spark of inspiration. Let's find the version of you that feels most like home.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a space that feels grounded, honest, and just a little bit magical. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the surface using mindfulness, creativity, and brain-focused tools to help you better understand yourself. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your emotions, more connected to your values, and more at peace in your daily life. We'll work at your pace, and laugh when we can.
