Have you experienced trauma, addiction, feelings of being alone, of not being heard or understood? I provide a safe space to be heard and to be seen. Lets move beyond what is “wrong with me” to "what is "RIGHT with me". Although we share many different stories on the outside, on the inside we have felt empty and unsure of the next steps to gain stabililty. Come let us walk together to move toward your goals. I have over 20 yrs experience n assisting individuals move from crisis to stability.

Theresa has been so helpful with me moving through my emotions and finally beginning to understand where these feelings and emotions have come from. I'm finally beginning to process things. It feels good to be able to be open and vulnerable in a safe space. Theresa has been helpful giving me the tools I need to get through the overwhelm I often feel.
