About me

I am a licensed therapist in Connecticut with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I take a person centered approach with each client's needs. Utilizing solution focused interventions, as well as other evidence based practices. Let us make progress together.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with clients for over 10 years, I am knowledgeable enough to discern that no two clients are the same, so one treatment model does not fit all. I will take a person centered approach and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients that are approaching a new season of their lives and are open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, behaviors. Most importantly, clients that desires to make changes in their lives.

Terese is exceptional at perfectly balancing warmth with challenging me when needed. She truly listens, dives deep and brings genuine wisdom to our conversations. She asks questions that help uncover insights I'd never reach alone. She'll call me out on patterns or boundary issues but supportively, not judgmentally. Her compassionate yet direct approach has been exactly what I needed for real progress. I look forward to sessions knowing I'll gain new perspectives and feel heard and understood.
