Become a "Better" You

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DO IT ALL
JUST DO YOU

THIS IS YOU
DETERMINED, DEDICATED & FUN!
You work hard and play hard. You either bring the party or you're the life of it! People in your life already know you're amazing, but ...
You want more. And better.
Recognition and appreciation in/for your work
Satisfying and meaningful relationships
Ability to speak your mind without alienating others
Clarity. About who you are and why you're here
Sleep, diet, sex and physical well-being
My clients get all that.
THIS IS ME
SUPPORTIVE, INSPIRING & COURAGEOUS.
I help my clients make peace with their past, and step boldly into the future they've been waiting for.
I do this by asking direct and creative questions, and genuinely listening to your response.
You can say just about anything to me.
I notice patterns and themes, which I’ll share so we can find out what fits. Sometimes getting it “wrong” is the best way to finding what’s right.
I’ll highlight and reflect your excitement and joy so you won't miss it. And I'll let you set the pace, while I guide the way.

I spent about 6 months meeting individually with Tessa to work through a tough time in my marriage and family changes and adjustments. She created an environment that was calm, friendly and felt safe from the first meeting. She had a great balance between letting me say what I needed to verbalize and talk through, but also providing, structure, guidance and resources as needed between our sessions. She is caring, thoughtful and nonjudgmental in a way that seems to come naturally to her. After our time together I feel that I have more skills to respond to my current (and probably future) life challenges,
I understand myself better, and am able to respond and connect better to those close to me.
