In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is designed to have you feel seen, heard and met where you are at in your life journey. I focus on putting people at ease while feeling safe and understood. I Usually have some questions but try to allow a person to have control and autonomy about what they are willing and able to share in the first session. I also feel that it is important that we have a good fit together and I support anyone I meet who isn't sure, the time and space to get to know me and make the right decision for themselves as to who they feel most comfortable working with. Your comfort and trust are most important to me.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have extensive experience with individuals recovering from medical trauma, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, illness, adjustment and recovery from family, life trauma and loss.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who is sincerely interested in healing, growth and insight from any of life's challenging experiences. I see each person as an individual and work with you to understand the therapy and strategies that work best for you in your unique situation. I listen to understand and try my best to connect with you in a way that helps you feel comfortable and heard. I feel I am able to serve anyone who is open to growth and healing, despite the initial fear of starting therapy which is common for all of us.
Compassion Focused
We work together to have insight into barriers that get in the way of self compassion, this enables us to collaborate towards decreasing shame and harsh self judgement so healing and growth can occur.
Grief Therapy
We work together to discover underlying trauma, loss and insight at your own pace to set the environment for processing emotions and healing.

She is a good lady who likes to help people she can. It's hard to help with a brain injury when the brain injury feels like it gets neurologically worse before it gets better. I am thankful she is my therapist.

First of all, I feel that Terese is an attentive and respectful listener who sees me for who I am. Best of all, without minimizing my pain or my difficulties - which we dedicate time to as necessary - she's able to point out what I'm doing RIGHT and where she sees growth in me. Her approach is quite validating and encouraging, and I really appreciate it!
