Hello! I'm Tessa. I'm a mom of three and an LCSW. I studied child & family development in college in Missouri, then earned a master of social work (MSW) in Denver.
My passion is to help parents and their infants/toddlers create strong, healthy relationships full of delight, focused on the wellbeing of baby AND parents.
I use the long-established theory of attachment to help parents sort through all the noise and tap into your own intuition, goals, and needs. Your needs matter too!
