I enthusiastically recommend working with Tess.  She offers something different than the coaches I’ve worked with, and has the expertise to support a powerful experience.”

"This woman is a GIFT to coaching.  Tess's energy is healing & her talent unquestionable. From my first session, it felt like Tess had been coaching me for a year because of the comfort she creates. I feel accepted, supported, and able to tap into my own ability because of her powerful questions and healing process. I could not possibly speak more highly of her!  I feel truly blessed to be coached by her. "

“Working with Tess has been transformative for me.  She has an open & collaborative approach & makes you feel heard and validated!   Her life insight and knowledge in Psychology brings clarity to my situation & provides the tools & strategies I need to reach my goals.  I HIGHLY recommend!”

"Tess helped me to settle some of the mucky waters of my trauma to see still clean waters. She isn't afraid to challenge me to explore more & helped me brave the territory many avoid. One of the most understanding, intellectual and perceptive people I have been gifted to meet. Her understanding, intellectual ability, perception, pursuit for answers and genuine concern and desire to help people lifts her to a higher level of empathy, and her lived experiences means she can draw from a source of experienced emotions to connect with you on a deeper and more meaningful level. Don’t get me wrong… she’s not all soft and sympathetic… she asks the questions that may be challenging, helping you explore more about what’s holding you back, she braves the territory many avoid. That’s why I would personally recommend Tess to anyone seeking guidance.

“I could not have asked for a more compassionate and caring coach. Tess helped me so much with emotional triggers and releasing stored trauma. I learned how to see through anger & into the hurting part of me that anger was covering. Tess has stayed present with me during some intense moments and flashbacks. Her voice is calm and soothing and helps me ground. Tess is incredibly wise and emotionally intelligent. I have learned so much from her and consider her a mentor and blessing in my life!”
