Hi & welcome! I’m Tesia, Co-Director and Founder of Shine. I bring my full, human self into the therapy room: curious, compassionate, and not afraid to find moments of humour, even in the midst of life’s hardest questions. In therapy and supervision, my approach is rooted in the belief that this inner and outer work holds space for both the pain and the possibility of being alive. I work from an integrative, meaning-oriented lens that draws from mindfulness-based, existential, and relational approaches. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live authentically, connect deeply, and make meaning from your experiences.
As a trauma-trained, holistic, & feminist psychotherapist, I help folks navigate anxiety, trauma (PTSD, cPTSD), burnout, stress, women’s health, and ADHD. I'm interested in working with women in leadership and executive roles, specifically navigating challenges in executive functioning, working relationships, occupational stress and fatigue, and burnout.
You can expect warmth, humour, and humanity in our sessions. Our work may draw from ACT, IFS, CBT, and Mindfulness; always in a way that feels aligned with your self. I believe healing happens through connection: being seen and understood in your full complexity. Together, we’ll meet life’s questions with openness, courage, and humour along the way.
