Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I teach chronic dieters how to become “normal eaters”. Have you been dieting most of your life and you realize it’s just not working…but you’re thinking about trying yet another one. Have you joined and rejoined WW over the years, even reaching lifetime status but always gained the weight back… but here you are, ready to join again. The chatter in your head is never ending and your brain won’t stop obsessing…but you’re looking up another recipe, watching another cooking show, planning another menu, going to another blog…. You’re thinking three words… I’m. So. Done. I can help you get off of the diet roller coaster.

You have been listening to Diet Culture messages your entire life and it is natural to internalize them and be self-critical. You don’t have to do that anymore. Your value is not dependent on your weight or body size. You are enough in your now body. Food is not good or bad. It’s just food. You don’t have to be hypervigilant or asahmed of what you eat.

Food is both for pleasure and fuel. You don’t have to rely on anyone else to tell you what to eat. You have agency to choose to eat whatever feels right for you. It starts with education that leads to transformation: about culture, mindset, Intuitive Eating, body neutrality, and shame resilience. It’s learning to trust yourself and to trust your body.

Congratulations! Clearly you are seeking a guide to help you move into your next phase of life. While I don’t (yet) know you, I am thrilled for you. You are probably aware that the only thing constant is change. If you’re anything like me, you have probably encountered heartache and headache during the change process.

After many years of leading students in classrooms, I decided to become a therapist because I knew there had to be better ways to cope with life’s inevitable ups and downs. Thank goodness, there are!! However, maybe no one has taught you how to transition smoothly from one phase of life to another? Or maybe you haven’t had a partner to support you with developing your specific transition success recipe?

As a human and as a therapist, I know that not all things work for all people. So, I make it my work to get to know patients just like you in order to help them live confident, full and unstoppable lives. If you’re interested in a therapist to help you slow down the racing thoughts, sleep better and execute with precision, schedule a consultation session. I’d be glad to support you with improving the overall quality of your life.

I teach people how to reconnect back to their true Self so they can authentically create healthy relationships and financial abundance | MA Counseling | Solutions Focused Coach | Couples Mediator | Transpersonal Hypnotherapist

WHAT I DO: I am dedicated to helping people reconnect back to the disconnected parts of themselves to bring healing, peace, and abundance into their lives. I will help you navigate your journey toward healing and wholeness.

WHAT YOU GET: Reconnect back to the inner Parts of you who are now creating inner conflict and confusion. Gain clarity of direction. Get aligned with your purpose and bring your Best Self to your relationships, to your family, and to your career. Say yes to a life of fulfillment and abundance!

HOW I DO IT: I’ve been there. I know where you are and how to get you to where you want to be. I experienced a childhood of domestic abuse, trauma, and sexual abuse that has required decades of healing and recovery. My personal journey combined with my education gives me a very unique gift of true compassion and empathy that helps me hold the space of understanding and guidance to you.

WHY ME: I get you. I’ve been there. I know the ramifications of self-protection, disconnection, and survival mechanisms adapted from trauma and abuse that flow strongly into adulthood causing impulsive decisions, relationship issues, self-sabotage, depression, anxiety, and addiction. It is my mission to help as many people as possible overcome these results of trauma and lead a fulfilling and abundant life. Get out of survival mode. Learn to thrive!

This is why I’m so passionate – I was there and trying traditional talk therapy and it wasn’t working. I lost my sh*t in front of a coworker and became DESPERATE to find a solution. A cure. Over the next 10+ years I stumbled and fell – BUT I found the solution. And now I have it mapped out in a sequence of steps that work. I am so honored and happy to bring the solution to you. Don’t spend 10+ years and $80,000 like I did – let me save you precious time and money with a Real Solution – Healing – and Transformation!

I have spent my life unraveling the effects of childhood trauma and the patterns it creates in adult life. Many of us succeed in most areas of life except one or two areas as a result of the trauma experienced in childhood. My area where sabotaging patterns showed up was romantic relationships. For some it’s their parenting. For others, it’s their career.

Tessa is a bi-racial (Mexican-American), first-generation college student, mother. Her love for therapy began when she had a therapist help her through difficult family transitions. Her experience with the power of therapy and how unconditional positive regard can truly help a person grow is what drives her to serve in this way. Being able to witness a patient’s growth, resilience, and strength is truly a privilege for her. She is motivated to serve this way because everybody can benefit from some form of mental health services. She wishes to contribute to the normalization of people of all identities, socioeconomic statuses, and belief systems to be able to access affirming and affordable mental health care.

Tessa’s ideal patient is someone who is open to change, and collaboration, and interested in co-creating the therapy experience. She serves as a guide to help patients use their strengths to decide their goals and to understand what works best toward achieving their goals. Her aim is to provide patients a warm and nurturing environment that is free of judgment. Tessa has extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community with a trauma-informed lens.

She wants patients to feel empowered during and after working with her. She wants them to be able to identify their unique qualities and strengths that were always there, but they may have just needed a little help seeing and experiencing them from within.

Are you experiencing critical thoughts or feeling that you’re not good enough? Have these thoughts started to cloud your sense of who you are and weigh you down?

I am here to help you put these painful thoughts to rest.

The burdens of tough experiences pile up and cause both an emotional and a physical toll. You may have noticed that not only are you feeling down, but your work and relationships are also suffering. When our feelings have not been sorted out, it is common to feel the weight of them and to feel stuck.

I view myself as a guide to walk side-by-side with you, supporting you with getting to know the parts of yourself that at times lead you to spiral as well as the parts of yourself that help you to thrive. Confidence, courage and connection are a few of the natural results of working mindfully to manage both what is pleasant and unpleasant.

As you learn to experience calm, it helps with resilience and continued self-discovery so that you enter into a sustainable relationship with yourself and those around you.

When you feel good on the inside, you radiate on the outside.

Click on the “web site” button to schedule a consultation so that we can learn more about one another. I’m excited to hear about the goals you have for yourself and explore ways I can help you to accomplish them.

Trauma, like most things, exists on a spectrum. The key to overcoming it is to identify where you are on that spectrum and identify your individual challenges to happiness. That’s where I come in.

In my time as an integrative hospital therapist, I learned just how essential a holistic response is to facilitating proper healing. My practice takes into account the specific details of your personhood, and will progress at the pace that works best for you – one step, one breath at a time.

In therapy, my hope is to help turn judgement into curiosity, and to convert one’s inner critic into one’s most nurturing confidant. Together we can develop strategies to face anxiety and depression with self-assurance.

Take the first step. Call or email to schedule a consultation.
