Accepting new clients! Tess is an empathic, kind, and nonjudgmental counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals overcome their struggles with mental health, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to heal from past traumas. Stress and anxiety, depression, behaviour and relationship difficulties have feelings of shame and self-criticism at their core. Directing compassion toward ourselves can allow us to feel safe and accepted, giving us the caring motivation to work through our suffering, to change unhelpful patterns, connect with our values, and get the most out of our life.

Welcoming clients from all over Ontario and Newfoundland. Appointments start as early as 7am ET. I specialise in the treatment of early life trauma such as abandonment, neglect, bullying, and abuse. Such experiences can set us up for later life anxiety and depression; self-protective thought processes and behaviours learned as children can make it hard for us to build successful careers and relationships as adults. Build confidence, self-understanding, and new habits in sessions where we dive deep into behaviours, core beliefs, and the negative thought patterns that might be holding you back.

You may be considering counselling therapy for a specific reason such as a grief or sadness, difficulty in controlling your use of drugs or alcohol, or life changes such as separation and divorce. Perhaps life simply seems difficult. Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our sense of self or leave us searching for more. Although it may be difficult to reach out for help, please know that I will hear your story with compassion, openness, and a willingness to support you in your healing process.

Many of my clients are people who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and relationship issues or family issues. I have experience working with first responders, 2SLGBTQI+ folk, neurodivergent folk, people who have experienced migration, at-risk youth, and more. I am fluent in both English and French and provide services in both languages. I am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador, and am available to clients located anywhere in those provinces.

I believe in the importance of understanding, trust, connection & belonging in the therapeutic relationship as the place where change can begin. It is with these values, I will support you in exploring your concerns and support you in making the changes that are positive and long lasting in your life. I believe that we all have the courage, inherent capacity, and knowledge to live our best lives, sometimes we need help along the way.
