New to Grow
Hello, I'm Theresa. Are you feeling overwhelmed with daily tasks or feel like every day is just like the last? Are you having family or relationship issues or intimacy problems? Do you question what your purpose is, worry about what life will bring next, or wonder what life would have been if only you had made different decisions or followed an alternative path? Have you suffered a loss that you can’t quite get over? I am passionate about helping people become empowered to live their best lives possible. By encouraging self-awareness, I assist my clients in making choices that align with their personal value system. I am committed to helping people live in the present and appreciate the grace of each day as it unfolds, knowing that challenges in life can perpetuate change and provide an opportunity to reach our true potential.
During our initial sessions, we will explore what issues are causing distress in your life and develop a plan for addressing them in a way that will help you get your life back on the desired track. Good therapy is not easy therapy. Making change is a process that takes hard work and dedication. I will be here to assist you through the journey every step of the way.
Along with my years of experience as a counselor, I bring the perspective that comes from years of living life and navigating many of the same challenges people face. I strive to make therapy feel organic, authentic, and genuine. I believe one of my strengths is recognizing when someone may benefit from gentle encouragement and when they simply need space to tell their story and be heard by an attentive, compassionate listener.
I am best suited for clients who are ready to take an active role in their growth and are committed to the process of creating meaninful change. While I provide guidance, support, and evidence-based therapeutic intervenstions, lasting progress requires a willingness to be honest, self-relective, and engaged both during sessions and in daily life. Clients who are motviated to explore challenges, practice new skills, and work toward their goals have the greatest experience and outcome from the therapeutic relationship.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a practical, goal oriented type of counseling that helps people recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. By changing unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors, people can develop better ways of coping with chanllenges and improving their overall well-being.
Motivational Interviewing
Motiviational Interviewing (MI) is an approach that helps people explore their own reasons for making positive changes in their life. Rather than telling someone what to do, my job is to use supportive conversation to increase your motiviation, confidence, and commitment to making changes.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling helps partners improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen their relationship. I work with both indiviiduals to better understand each other's perspectives, help each person develop healthier relationship skills, and address challenges in a supportive/constructive way.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
MIndfulness-based therapy help a person become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and experience in the present moment. By practicing mindfulness, a person can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and respond to challenges in a calmer and more thoughtful way.
