About Teresa
I have experience supporting individuals with concerns such as mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, and symptoms of psychosis. My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, trauma-based therapies, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. I want to help you feel empowered and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Together, we’ll explore what’s standing in your way, develop practical strategies to manage emotions and stress, and take steps to restore balance, confidence, and connection to who you are. You set your therapy goals, and together we work to achieve them. I teach practical skills to manage stress, difficult emotions, and unhelpful thoughts, supporting you in developing tools for lasting change. Growth requires understanding, willingness, and practice—and I’m here to support you through it.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe that working together allows us to support your overall well-being, both mentally and physically. I strive to provide a space where you feel heard without judgment. I meet you where you are and help you build from there, supporting you in learning how to better manage life’s challenges.
