Meet Teela

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or life changes... you must find the courage to face your truths and figure out how to get your needs met. I hope to play a part in supporting my clients as they seek to live a more authentic life. I believe that we are all attempting to be our best selves in spite of the complications we experience in our lives. My aim is to help my clients fully explore some of the assumptions they hold about themselves and their life. I aspire to offer a non-judgemental and understanding space. I help with exploration so my clients can begin the process of self-reflection that will allow them to gain clarity around the steps they need to take to begin to live their life fully. A tenet of my practice is the belief that self-efficacy can create life changes. I firmly believe that the key to changing your life resides within yourself. I would be honored for the opportunity to work with clients who are willing to do the work it takes to begin to live a full and authentic life.

I firmly believe that the key to changing one's life resides within themselves.
