My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey and provide the support you need on the journey. There is no judgement based on diagnosis or background. One thing I bring is my non-judgmental honesty. I will not sugar coat things, I will speak in facts. I will challenge you to check your own assumptions so that you are able to keep yourself out of the cycle that comes from assuming. I also work with families from the same lens, helping the members challenge their assumptions.

I embrace the concept that every individual is unique and in search of answers to help them better align with their purpose, joy, and self-love, while on this journey we call LIFE. Every person has their own story and experiences that have shaped and molded their worldview, behaviors, and thoughts. Life is about evolving, growing, and adapting to the challenges life is guaranteed to bring. I am here to actively listen, provide authentic feedback, and engage in conversations to help you reflect and gain some introspection. You are the creator of your path, and I am here to walk with you on this part of your journey.

Hi there, I'm Terri. I am so proud of you! Welcome to starting your healing journey. You have made an important choice for yourself—starting the process of exploring what brings you distress and wanting relief. Together, we will have a private space to wonder out loud and make connections between your past, present and important relationships. If this is your first time in therapy, then this beginning may bring up a lot of questions and anxiety. You may have heard or read myths about counseling that are out there: “It means something is wrong with you,” or, “Just don’t think about (insert problem here) and you’ll be fine.” Know that nothing is ‘wrong with you’ and not addressing the problem usually only makes it bigger in the long run. We all benefit from having someone to share our feelings with and help us make sense of the stresses that we face. That’s why I’m here! Do you feel you need to have control of every aspect of your life? Are you always thinking about the future and ‘What’s next’ on your never-ending to-do list? Do you feel alone, isolated, or withdrawn? Have you noticed that you’re increasingly irritable, anxious, restless, and overwhelmed? No worries! We can address these concerns and more. I help people address uncomfortable topics to break generational cycles. I aim to assist those who struggle with saying ‘No’, and who often forget about their needs.
