MASTER THERAPEUTIC COACH
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
SUSTAINABLE CHANGE

MASTER THERAPEUTIC COACH

The pain of past regrets & fear of the future immobilize us.  While these are normal human experiences, you don't have to live under the SHADOW of them. 

My clients learn how to harness compassionate awareness in a way that is authentic.  You'll learn to melt the fear-bond with past conditioning & build self-trust.
  
In the process, we heal several aspects of resistance & teach you how to meet the unmet needs you missed in childhood.  All along the way, working toward YOUR goals, within YOUR comfort level. 

My multi-disciplinary approach gives you the tools to change what hasn't been working, notice what HAS been working, & learn to trust & value who you are.

MORE ABOUT WORKING WITH TESS

my EXPERTISE:

it's personal

Our SUBCONSCIOUS programming forms our healing & suffering.  We have the power to change that language; we just need to be taught HOW.  I invested 20 years of study & practice to support others' ability to gain freedom.  My expertise aids the strategy but my personal story drives the passion.  

remove what doesn't serve

The mental wellness field is diluted with well-meaning "coaches" who offer strategies, but LACK the training to facilitate lasting change in their clients.  My methods are evidence-based & PERSONALIZED.  Together, we create steps you can maintain & build a foundation for sustainable healing & functional change.

evidence-based

Investing 2 decades of rigorous research & higher education, I produced a premium coaching practice that yields lasting patterns of change on MENTAL, EMOTIONAL & SPIRITUAL levels. The methods I teach my clients are the ones I taught myself & create lasting freedom.

Done With You

Imagine yourself 10 years from now.  You are able to handle what comes your way in life: not perfect, not faking it, just pure self-acceptance & self-grace.  After three decades of rigorous higher education, research & a crap-load of grit, I designed a system that changed my thought patterns forever.  That is the system I  teach my incredible clients.

do-it yourself with my compliments

Your time is precious, but when it comes to your thoughts, you haven't been taught how to use your time wisely.  Dive into this guide to find ways that will effectively & efficiently help you unravel some of the thoughts that have been keeping you small & causing you such discomfort & exhaustion.

learn with me

Bringing a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners approach to Psychology - it's about time we got unafraid to talk. About what scares us & what ignites us. About the parts of us we want no one to see. It's time we allowed the time to get to know our OWN selves - learning what we love, facing what we don't want & embracing both without all the self-doubt & judgement.

You Are Not Alone.  We are all trying our best to manage what the world hands us.  We are all caught off guard by life's curveballs & few of us are instructed on what to do about it.

Some of the healing on offer does not equip you to manage or be with your thoughts & feelings in a practical, lasting way.  There are enough short-term solutions & I don't waste my time or yours by being another one of those voices in the healing crowd.  I lean on my background in Research Psychology & clinical therapeutic training to level data that arms you with Lasting Change.  We just don't have time for anything less - & you deserve SO MUCH MORE.
