Hi there, I'm Tessa!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Connecticut. I have been fortunate to serve clients across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. I have worked for 20+ years working with youth and their families through school-based therapy programs.
My focus
I work with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and stress.
My approach
My approach to therapy is modified based on the needs of the individual client I work with. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach using Cognitive Behavioral interventions.
