Hi! I'm Teri and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Northern California. (I provide telehealth services only at this time.) As an Integrative Therapist, I believe that our brain, mind, body and spirit are all interconnected. My goal is to facilitate healing at the level of the nervous system where issues are rooted and to help provide the solid foundation needed for optimal functioning and joyful living.
After assessing areas of strengths and challenges, I work with my clients to develop a customized treatment plan for achieving identified goals. I do my best to inject playfulness and humor whenever possible. Clients are expected to do activities as assigned in between sessions. (Change requires repetition and consistency.)
I have 30 + years of experience working with children, adults and families in a variety of settings including CPS, outpatient clinics, schools and in private practice. I have extensive training in areas related to developmental trauma, attachment disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders and primitive reflex integration and have trained parents, educators and mental health staff on these subjects. I have various certifications.
I use a variety of interventions depending on my client's needs. These may include education, emotional regulation techniques, sensorimotor activities, spiritual coaching and others.
