About me

Feeling lost or overwhelmed by life’s challenges?

Imagine having a dedicated partner in your corner, ready to help you navigate those tough times and celebrate your triumphs.

How I Can Help:

I’m here to provide the support, guidance, and encouragement you need. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, or other mental health concerns, I will work with you to develop strategies that suit your unique situation. Together, we’ll set achievable goals and build the skills you need to thrive.

My Approach to Counseling:

My primary method is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a proven approach that combines acceptance and mindfulness strategies with behavior-change techniques. This helps you develop psychological flexibility. I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs, incorporating techniques like dialogue, cognitive reframing, and awareness exercises to help you achieve your goals.

Credentials & Experience:

With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, I’ve worked extensively with individuals facing dual diagnoses, especially PTSD. My experience spans working with children and adults, addressing a broad range of mental health issues.

Your Path to Wellness:

I am committed to equipping you with the tools and support you need to thrive, both inside and outside the therapy room. Your wellness journey is my top priority, and I’m here to assist you every step of the way.

Terriee has been the support I have always looked for in a therapist. She has empowered me, challenged me, encouraged me and helped me build my tool box so I am confident in my healing. I often reflect on our sessions and content Terriee shares with me and feel she is always one step ahead of me, guiding me as I explore sobriety, trauma and loving myself. I couldn’t be more appreciative or thankful for her. Terriee is the reason I tell everyone to try the BetterHelp app! Her genuine care and direct approach has been key for me!

I have been seeing Terriee for almost 2 1/2 years. Not only does she help me get to the root of the main reason why I wanted to get therapy, she’s also been there for some pretty serious upsets in my life. She helps me to navigate these events and better understand them. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I often tell people how amazing BetterHelp has been for me.

I feel very comfortable with Terriee. I don’t feel judged or looked down on which is very important to me. I feel she understands where I’m coming from but listens as well. She has reached out between appointments with helpful tips & exercises
