New to Grow
Hi, I'm Teri! I love integrating my Christian faith and biblical principles with therapeutic interventions. I know for many of us, we have experienced trauma that has left us wounded, and I believe God desires healing and restoration. I help individuals juggling family, work, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Struggling with past experiences, and sometimes unresolved pain, that is affecting how you feel and function. I want to help you break free from the weight of past trauma so it doesn’t define your present or your future and I’m here to walk with you as you pursue that.
I seek to empower the people I work with to have the life they want. My approach is warm but also direct. I will be honest with you while offering practical tools and support. I use different therapy approaches to address anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma.
I believe that all people are entitled to a great life despite the things that they have experienced in their past. Through compassionate listening and thoughtful questions, I offer practical feedback for you to take out of the session and integrate into your daily life.
I serve individuals who are carrying the weight of past trauma while trying to show up fully in their everyday lives—whether that’s in their families, careers, or relationships. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally burdened, or stuck in patterns shaped by unresolved pain, anxiety, depression, or stress, yet they have a desire for healing and growth. I especially connect with those who want to integrate their Christian faith into the therapy process and are open to exploring both practical tools and spiritual insight. If you’re ready to do the deeper work, gain clarity, and move forward with intention, I provide a supportive yet honest space to help you heal, grow, and step into the life you desire.
Christian Counseling
In my practice, I integrate Christian counseling by combining evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a Christ-centered perspective. I have experience supporting clients who desire to include their faith in the healing process. I use this approach to help clients navigate emotional and relational challenges while incorporating Christian values. My goal is to create a space where clinical care and spiritual growth work together to support lasting healing and transformation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I have experience guiding clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with more balanced, life-giving perspectives. Through practical tools and structured interventions, I support clients in building healthier coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and creating meaningful, lasting change in their daily lives.
Strength-Based
In my practice, I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build upon their existing abilities, resilience, and inner resources. I have experience working with clients to reframe challenges and highlight the strengths that may have been overlooked. By focusing on what is strong rather than solely on what is wrong, I support clients in developing greater self-awareness, confidence, and empowerment as they navigate growth and change.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy by helping clients identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and focus on what is already working in their lives. I have experience supporting clients in shifting away from problem-saturated thinking toward practical, forward-moving solutions. In our work together, I ask intentional questions and guide clients to develop clear, achievable steps that build confidence and momentum toward the future they desire.
