I am a licensed social worker with extensive experience in the mental health field. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals for over 17 years treating adolescents teens and adults. I have had a private practice the last few years helping people in the community on an outpatient basis. I am passionate about helping people survive and thrive through adversities. Often times depression, stress, an daily struggles run us down and debilitate us from being the best version of ourselves. It leads us to doubt our strength and abilities. and we become self destructive and loose our sense of self. Therapists like myself help to re program, hit the reset button and build your foundation again. We often need someone to believe in us and motivate us to make change and become invigorated. New coping skills and habits along side of a healthy, private, honest listener can help us begin to heal and strive in our own lives. It is a risk to disclose and discuss deeply buried feelings and insecurities which is why a therapist is helpful to label our feelings and help us reframe our thoughts and begin to unburden ourselves so we can become healthy and balanced again. Take a step and allow one of the therapists to help you get started today. I encourage you to be open and honest to change. Reach out to me or another therapist and start your journey. Take a deep breath hit the start button and begin............
I like to offer a safe, emotionally sound and inviting appointment for my clients. I believe in a non judgmental supportive and encouraging environment. I like to work as a team to help you to return to balance, confidence and success. Problem solving, listening and offering resources to work on the issues you feel are important to you. I assess the presenting problem, provide empathy, compassion, and problem-solving skills. Often I find just having someone understand us and support us in our own unique way is the best approach. I have worked with grief and loss issues in clients. I have compassion and tools to help navigate the survivor feelings and healing of those who experience the loss.

My first time experiencing therapy, and I couldn’t recommend it more with Theresa! She really makes the sessions enjoyable and actually comfortable enough to where I can genuinely share things with her. So happy I got connected!
