About
Thesla
My motivation for working in mental health comes from a genuine desire to help people feel seen, heard, and supported. I feel honored to walk alongside clients during some of life's most challenging moments and help them build the confidence and skills to create meaningful change.
In therapy, I focus on creating a warm, supportive space where clients can show up as they are. I believe a strong connection is an important part of the process, and I tailor my approach to each person's unique needs, values, and goals. I especially enjoy working with adults who are struggling with self-esteem, navigating life transitions, or working through trauma and difficult past experiences. Together, we identify practical, sustainable strategies that help clients move toward the life they want to build.
Outside of work, I enjoy learning new hobbies, hiking and walking with my dog, visiting local farmers markets, and exploring new places. This year, I've been learning how to crochet and garden for the first time.
I feel most grounded when I can balance time in nature, connection with animals, and meaningful time with the people I love. These experiences help me stay present, curious, and connected both in and outside of the therapy room. I also have a soft spot for reality TV and enjoy unwinding with a good "trashy" show, Bravo and Love Island are current favorites.
