What I Do

My philosophy of care is to fully dedicate my time and attention to my patients, ensuring they feel heard throughout their visit.

My clinical interests include primary care and preventative medicine.

Why I Love My Work

In high school, I worked as a CNA and later helped care for my grandparents while in college, which confirmed that healthcare was the right path for me. I chose family medicine because I enjoy the variety of patients I see each day, from babies to the elderly, and it allows me to work close to home.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at our family lake cabin and staying active with my husband, son, and Goldendoodle. Before becoming a PA, I worked as a Respiratory Therapist at Rice Hospital.

    We love Tessa and her crew. So easy to talk to with no judgement or preconceived ideas about me. She listens and offers advise and resolutions but does not push.

    I really like the person I went to. I like the fact that they will have tests done or look further into the problem before giving you another medication.
