Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with a wide variety of patients issues and concerns. From my earliest memories, I have been fascinated in human behavior. I knew my path in life would lead me into the behavioral health field. During my educational path, I have achieved an Associates in Applied Science, Bachelor of Arts Psychology, Master of Arts Community/Clinical Psychology, Master of Art General Psychology and advanced PhD studies all but dissertation.
My treatment approaches vary widely depending on the needs of the person. The therapeutic process may require changes in treatment approaches as issues and concerns are further examined. Therapy is a process that I believe is best suited when decisions regarding treatment are openly discussed and decisions are made jointly between therapist and patient. I am experienced working with children as young as 5 years old, teens and adults.
It takes a great amount of strength to reach out for help. I believe building a strong trusting therapeutic relationship is the first step toward successful outcomes.

I had my first appointment with Tressa and felt very comfortable with her. She was patient and asked questions to help me identify what I am seeking therapy for. I am looking forward to this season of personal growth.
