During your intake, it's important we begin to build rapport that will be the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. We will discuss expectations and goals for therapy and each other and will work collaboratively to identify areas in need of focus and improvement. My commitment to you will be to support your process of exploration and transformation with gentle acceptance and belief.
As a licensed therapist I am able to draw on my professional and personal experiences to help people process their experiences and find the relief they're seeking in therapy. My priority is creating a healing space of compassion and understanding to promote positive change and growth.
I offer individual therapy for adults ages 18 to 65+, recognizing that people at every stage of life face different challenges and opportunities for growth. Together, we will explore how to improve your emotional well-being, set healthy boundaries, and develop a more positive relationship with yourself and others.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to shift them, leading to positive changes in how you feel and respond to challenges. My goal is to provide you with effective tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns, so you can build resilience and create lasting, meaningful change in your life.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide a compassionate, client-centered environment where your emotional and physical safety is the top priority. Together, we will explore self-care, emotional boundaries, and grounding techniques to support your healing journey. I’ll help you recognize your coping mechanisms, understand how past experiences have shaped them, and develop healthier strategies moving forward. Throughout the process, I’ll be here to support you, ensuring we move at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe that you have unique strengths, resilience, and abilities that can help you navigate life’s challenges. In our work together, I take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what’s already working for you rather than just what feels difficult. My goal is to help you recognize and build upon your natural skills and resources so you can feel more empowered, confident, and capable. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or looking for personal growth, we’ll work together to uncover and maximize your strengths to create meaningful, lasting change.

It's very difficult for me to express my emotions, but I felt comfortable with Theresa. I cried the entire time and genuinely forgot it was only an intake session. She seemed very open minded and I'm excited to experience what this journey holds.

Theresa guides me into finding answers and results on things that I was locked up on Theresa is like talking to a honest friend.
