Meet Teresa

I have 25 years of experience working with adults. I have helped clients with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and trauma. I believe therapy is a collaboration and therefore you have a voice in the process. I want to create a safe space for growth, healing, and exploration. My approach is client-centered and strength-based. I look forward to being empowered by your courage.
