Hi! I’m Tessie

A native New Yorker with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of city life. As a child of immigrants, I intimately understand the unique challenges of balancing cultural expectations with personal growth. My work focuses on supporting clients through periods of loneliness, life transitions, and identity exploration,  especially individuals discovering new layers of themselves in later stages of life.
My therapeutic approach blends humanistic approaches, narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).    I offer a space that is affirming and attuned to your unique experiences. I specialize in supporting people from diverse, non-traditional communities, including those in alternative lifestyles. 

I also specialize in supporting individuals navigating intense personal and professional challenges, including those in academic environments like graduate programs and postdoctoral research. 
I am currently practicing under the supervision of Cheyenne Skye Taylor and offer exclusively remote therapy to accommodate the diverse needs of my clients. If you’re looking for a supportive environment where your authentic self can flourish, I’m here to help guide you.  
Let’s connect and begin your journey.
