Life can sometimes be difficult and surprising. There are ebbs and flows. The seasons of our life hold challenges, new issues arise, and we are sometimes confused. Perhaps what we seek is a new question. That question might lead to new answers and strategies for navigating through the present challenge.
I’m a counselor with over 20 years of experience and specialized trainings. I’ve become familiar with the variety and depth of our human circumstances and encounters. I hold a conviction and personal view that every person’s trials and perceptions are their truth and that they present an opportunity for growth. What is true for you, your reality, is our starting point toward achieving goals.
Counseling is a tool that helps us get current with our life. In the partnering of counselor and client, I utilize a holistic focus that validates your experience, finds the wisdom that makes the most sense in your challenge, and gives you a place to be seen and accepted without a need to be other than your true self.
With my ease of listening with empathy and intuition, and my ability to guide through the background noise and chaos of life events, your life story and the innate wisdom it holds will unfold so you can develop strategies that are in your highest and best interests.

Felt like Theresa got me the very first session! I’ve been in therapy, off and on, for awhile bet never really felt like the therapist understood me, Call me crazy but I sensed Theresa had the ability to help me work through things I need to address, and some I don’t even realize are issues!
I look forward to our next session, Theresa!

Theresa is wonderful! I’ve dealt with many therapists in the past and was dubious, at best, with being matched with someone I knew nothing about. My suspicions were alleviated almost as soon as Theresa opened her mouth. She knew just what to say and how to say it in a way that I’d hear. She’s a gem!

I was very hesitant to try therapy again after having had very poor experiences with therapy in the past. Theresa has been a breath of fresh air and completely changed my opinion of therapy. I felt an almost instant connection with her, and she has given me the exact tools I need to work thru my issues. I couldn’t recommend her more highly than a 10/10 but wish I could.

Theresa is terrific! Really excellent at providing the help and support I need right now. It’s such a relief to talk to someone who can help me process my grief and still participate in the world.

She is an excellent therapist who filled my heart with courage to move forward and take action against what I have been subjected to and traumatized by. She is not only a good listener, but also a caring and supportive partner who regularly checks on my well-being.
