About Me
In the Office
The ‘no bullshit’ part of No BS Tess reflects my direct style of communication and humor. This work is a very human experience so I bring honesty, authenticity, & genuine curiosity to the relationship.
I am warm yet direct, enjoy humor and swear, encourage leaning into the hard feelings, ask hard questions, & honor your work.
Out of the Office
I practice what I preach and sift through my ‘BS’ by going for walks and reading, listening to podcasts and practicing silence, taking deep breaths, playing with my three boys, allowing the mess in order to find mindfulness in the cleanup, going to therapy, nurturing relationships with my friends, and valuing the work it takes to be in a marriage.
