Do you feel things too deeply?
A warm, judgment-free space to explore your story, work through big feelings, and celebrate who you are.
Meet Tess
Do you think you feel things too deeply? Or that whatever normal is, you are next to it? If so, I can relate! My goal is to create a space where those I work with are not labeling themselves as ‘the problem,’ or for them to feel powerless in their big feelings and behavior patterns. Instead of asking why you felt too much or did xyz wrong, we should be asking what you have done right to make it this far. I take an interpersonal and strengths-based approach to therapy. We will first create a relationship then explore your experiences and interactions in order to accomplish your goals and celebrate who you are!
Primarily, I have worked with clients who feel challenged by anxiety, depression, big feelings, trauma, relationship issues, attachment issues, eating disorders, and abuse. I specialize in utilizing creative interventions and approaches that are tailored to each of my clients, such as art, music and experiential activities alongside traditional talk therapy.
I will approach you with authenticity, honesty, respect, humor and empathy to create a safe space in which real insight can be gained and lasting change can occur. I recognize that therapy and taking the step to heal can seem frightening and exhausting. As such, I take great care to go at your pace and I am excited to meet you and hear your story.
