Tess holds a Bachelor’s in Clinical Psychology from Marie Haps, Brussels, and earned a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the Catholic University of America, allowing her to begin combining her academic background with her passion for nature and horses. As an equine specialist and with over 30years of equestrian experience, Tess integrates equine-assisted therapy into her practice to foster deeper self-connection.

Specializing in life transitions, trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, and mood disorders, Tess uses an integrative approach, including ACT, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and CBT interventions tailored to each client. She incorporates IFS techniques and is pursuing EMDR certification to enhance trauma-focused care. Dedicated to helping clients uncover struggles, develop self-compassion, and heal, Tess brings a balance of expertise, empathy, and insight.

Outside of work, Tess enjoys her horse, exploring nature, and lifelong learning. To learn more or schedule a consultation, feel free to reach out.
