About Tess
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with clients in New York. As a systemic, trauma-informed therapist specializing in relationships, I look at the big picture, taking into account not just your individual history but your family's and culture's as well. When so much feels uncertain, in our personal lives and on a global scale, I am here to help you find your way from fatigue and overwhelm to peace and acceptance. Our time together will help you create the fulfilling relationships and experiences that you have been longing for.
My background as a mindful-living coach and meditation instructor informs my work as therapist, and I love to support clients who are seeking to cultivate more compassion for themselves and within their relationships. Our sessions will be a judgment-free zone where you can feel truly safe to explore and unburden what you have been holding on your own for so long.
Everyone can benefit from therapy, no matter what is currently taking center stage in your life. Using a collaborative and transparent approach, we will get to know each other and co-create the optimal therapy experience for your unique healing journey.
