Hi, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I currently live in Mobile, Alabama but I am licensed in four other states as well. I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa. I have been a Social Work for 30 years and have worked with all ages. I feel my purpose is to help you identify ways to improve your life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session together, I think it is important to identify the specific reason you are seeking help at this time and what it will look like when we have met your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Because I have many years of experience with a diverse population, I feel that I am very empathic to my client's needs.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

At this point in my career, I feel I work best with adult individuals from aged 30 and above. Most of my current clients are men and women in their senior years. In addition, I have over 20 years of providing EMDR therapy services for clients with depression, anxiety, phobias and PTSD.

I navigate chaos in my life every day. I need someone who can be direct, kind, and have a sense of humor because nobody gets out of here alive. Terri seems like a perfect fit. Seems a little odd to leave a review after the first session, but since the platform asked, I’m glad to do so. I’m looking forward to my next session.
