Hi, I'm Teshia. Despite your best efforts, do you find yourself on the verge of divorce? Your marriage may be a disaster, but your divorce doesn't have to be! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience as a family law paralegal, I possess a unique set of skills that are invaluable to those who find themselves in the throes of divorce. In addition to providing support through one of the most difficult life transitions, understanding that the legal process of divorce has the potential to inhibit the healing process and completely devastate families, I provide my clients with a better way to divorce...a way that builds up instead of tears down...a way that refashions your family instead of leaving it shattered. Since every ending brings a new beginning, my goal as your therapist is to guide you through the uncertainty of divorce, help you regain your balance and help you lay the foundation for a HEALTHY new beginning. No matter where you are in the divorce process, whether working as your therapist or as your divorce coach, I am dedicated to helping you regroup, recover and grow. "GREAT IS THE ART OF BEGINNING, BUT GREATER IS THE ART OF ENDING." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session I will take time to get to know you and learn about what prompted you to seek therapy to begin with. We will focus on your goals for therapy, which helps me to guide all future sessions with you. Because I don't like to assume everyone who schedules with me is a good fit, we will check in with each other at the end of the session to see if we believe therapy with me is the right path for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In addition to having extensive experience in the world of divorce, I also have experience doing couples and relationship therapy. Additionally, working at a military treatment facility for over 5 years, I am experienced in treating combat-related PTSD and other trauma-related issues, as well as being adept with military culture and working with active duty service members and their spouses.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

The populations I am best positioned to serve include adults seeking help with relationship problems and/or going through the process of separation and divorce. I also have extensive experience serving members of the military and veterans.
