Welcome! I’m Tess, a pediatric mental health therapist passionate about helping children and families thrive. I specialize in working with children and adolescents aged 3 to 18, using a client-centered approach to make therapy engaging and accessible.
For younger children, I use play therapy to help them express emotions and navigate challenges naturally. With teens, I use tailored methods to meet their unique developmental stages and interests. I also offer parent coaching to extend therapy’s benefits into the home, creating lasting positive change for the whole family.
Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, social and behavioral challenges, divorce, or other life transitions, I’m here to guide your family toward resilience and success. Together, we can help your child—and your family—grow and succeed.
