Tessa has been a constant source of compassion and support while I navigate through the grief of losing a child while having a chronic health condition. Her soft spoken nature immediately made me comfortable in her presence.
Caring, thoughtful, and kind are words that resonate with me when I think of Tessa. She is an attentive therapist that made me feel that I had someone on my team to help me sort through various topics of concern.
I felt heard when speaking with her and empowered when I left. She’s a gem.
Art therapy with Tessa is feeling understood, even if you don't quite know how you feel. It’s being gifted another perspective; a visual one that you can use to analyze your mind and emotions,
allowing you the opportunity to understand and move on.
I’m so beyond grateful for everything she's done for me.
I participated in weekly individual therapy sessions in 2020 and 2021. Topics we covered and explored included my feelings and anxieties regarding the Pandemic, life changes (such as retirement), death, aging, sorrow & loss, seeking joy, and exploring the sources of my creativity. Insights I gained through participating in the process of art therapy will benefit me for the rest of my life.
My sessions with Tessa felt genuinely trusting and were a calming experience. Art therapy really helped me map out my emotions so I could understand what I was feeling at the time. Her approach helped me get through a rough patch in my life. I definitely feel more grounded than I was years ago.
While working with Tessa over the past two years, I have become more self aware and confident. Being a visual person, having the ability to express my emotions through art has been important in my healing process and has helped me understand my emotions better. When I don’t have the words to express my feelings I have art that can speak for me, and as a result, I am better able to understand myself. Her compassion and care is shown through her work and she makes sure you feel heard and seen.Â
Working with Tessa is truly a dream. I feel like I’m talking with a long time friend during each session.
I have done lots of therapy over the years but doing art therapy with Tessa gets me out of my head and allows me to flow more from my emotions. I feel like I can share anything with her without judgement so I can go deeper.
I have had the privilege of getting to know Tessa over the past year. I met her as a student in an art therapy class she was teaching. She was an amazing teacher. The wisdom she shared in a loving and nurturing environment that she created for her students was unlike any other class I have ever taken. A few months after the class I felt compelled to connect with her. I wanted to work with her in a deeper way.
The insight I have gained in doing art therapy with her has propelled me on my path of self growth. It is important work I am doing and Tessa’s support has been wonderful. I consider Tessa to be a valuable mentor. She has a gift for creating space for others to express themselves, even in an online format. I was skeptical that the digital experience could match in person but I believe it can be just as powerful with the right person. Tessa’s presence can be felt and her intuitive gifts are not limited to being in person.
I would recommend Tessa as an art therapist, mentor, or teacher to anyone who feels called to explore self growth, creativity, or healing. Her wisdom, intuition, and nurturing nature are a rare gift to anyone who works with her.
Sessions with Tessa have allowed me to understand myself in a new way I had never considered before. As an artist, she led me to a better understanding of my own artistic habits and to look to the images most often popping up. I have found so much in everything I’ve drawn thanks to Tessa. She has also allowed me to have the freedom in each session to figure out what works best for me, while also guiding me through the process.
I am incredibly grateful to have found such a supportive, thoughtful, and creative space to better understand myself. I would truly recommend her for anyone no matter what they are looking for, artist and non-artist alike.
Tessa has impacted my life in incredibly beneficial ways- she’s helped me achieve more confidence within myself both mentally and physically. She has also been much more than sympathetic when it comes to our sessions, but she is also empathetic, and she is genuine. I am beyond thankful for my experience with Tessa, and I encourage others to try out sessions with Tessa- if they are looking for a therapist that also acts as an amazing life coach/mentor. With that said, she is super flexible: with both meeting needs (phone sessions, video, in person) and scheduling. Well worth the services you pay for.

Tessa has seriously impacted my life so much more than I can put into words- and she has helped me become a human I’m even more proud of than I had been before. I’ve been able to break barriers that never seemed possible a year ago. I have so so much appreciation for the work she does, and I’m beyond blessed to have her as a therapist!
My inner child has been searching for someone like Tessa my whole life. She is such a light, and I am so lucky to have her on my healing journey.
My life gets better and better with sessions with Tessa. I'm more content with my life and am feeling excitement for what each season brings. I have loving relationships and feel more financially secure. The ease of virtual sessions is highly valuable to me. I can be in my own environment and also travel while maintaining consistency of sessions. Being in Tessa's presence is healing. She is warm, empathetic, fun to be with, insightful, encouraging and trustworthy. She is making high level psychotherapy and coaching look seamless. I feel like I'm in the presence of a good friend- the friend in my life I've wished for, the one who truly listens and wants the best for me.
I've discovered things that make me happy, cultivated confidence and self-trust, and met the love of my life.
I'm doing creative work that I love, setting my own schedule, and financial worries I had before meeting her
have dissolved. My life looks and feels completely different than a year ago. Her integrative and intuitive approach make her special.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone as skilled as Tessa and appreciate the benefits that a long-term therapeutic relationship can bring. She is an exceptional healer with deep knowledge. I have strengthened my physical body, my mind and my heart. I wasn't expecting all of the results I've experienced. I couldn't have done it without her.
My whole life has changed. Tessa sat with me in my darkest days and now she makes space to celebrate as my wins roll in. I'm stronger physically, clear minded, inspired in my work, and did the inner work to triple my income. I want her to have the best life, because she gave me back mine.
