Trauma and PTSD
As a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience, I help clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for lasting change. My practice is trauma-informed and affirming, meaning I recognize the ways past experiences, identity, and systemic stress can shape emotional wellbeing—and I hold space for all of it without judgment. I specialize in supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, burnout, grief, identity exploration, and relationship struggles. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, veterans, healthcare workers, and nonprofit leaders—people who often carry a unique blend of resilience and emotional burden. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand yourself better, therapy with me offers a safe place to explore what matters most. Clients who work with me often say they feel deeply seen and empowered to make meaningful shifts in their lives. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, I tailor our work to your needs, drawing from a variety of approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, insight-based work, and solution-focused strategies. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, develop healthy coping patterns, and create the kind of life and relationships that feel true to you. Healing doesn’t always happen in big moments—it’s often found in the quiet recognition that you deserve to take up space, to rest, to feel, and to grow. I’m here to walk with you in that process.

My career began outside of mental health, in competitive corporate environments (Arthur Andersen, PwC, Korn Ferry) where I earned an MBA in International Marketing from George Washington University, completed postgraduate work at Emory University, and engaged in complex, multi-stakeholder projects across the U.S., Asia, and Europe. Nearly a decade ago, I shifted focus from business development, talent acquisition and organizational performance to personal transformation. I have worked in a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment centers, and private practice, specializing in trauma resolution and identity restoration. I worked exclusively with convicted felons for 3-years which, by matter of necessity, forced me to learn and refine therapeutic techniques beyond anything I could have imagined. This combination of global business acumen and advanced clinical training allows me to meet executives at an entirely different level than most therapists, offering a process that is both strategically rigorous and deeply human.

This journey of trying to understand people, started in middle school, continued through college where I fell in love with Psychology, and into my masters program where I got a degree in Social Work.

Social work chose me! When I wrote my personal essay for my MSW, I realized social work had always surrounded me. I remember helping elderly neighbors, teaching friends how to count money, and researching services for my autistic brother. There were so many events between those gaps and yet to come. I always desired to help people. My brother’s diagnosis widened my eyes to my calling, but life had other plans for me and I became a secretary. As a secretary, I found myself being hired in the mental health arena, including the areas of AIDS research, mental health, addiction services, and college counseling. Social work is my second career but it's always been my first passion. I pull from both my personal and professional experiences and allow these experiences to teach and mold me.

What effect do you hope that therapy will have on your life? Are you looking for someone to support you in difficult times? Is it your goal to thrive, rather than just survive? Perhaps you want to explore past events and see how they might be affecting your present. My name is Teresa, and I would be honored to walk with you as you navigate life. I work with individuals who have taken on the role of caregiver, whether professional or personal, in avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue. I empower others in creating and enforcing boundaries. I also assist individuals in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. I guide individuals who are processing trauma and provide support and care. I support individuals of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religions. I am nonjudgmental and supportive of individuals who are in any stage of recovery from substances or any other addictions. I hope to create a genuine, caring environment (yes, even in teletherapy!) exhibiting acceptance and celebration of who you truly are.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, struggling with anxiety or depression, or searching for clarity in your next chapter, therapy can be a safe space to grow. Together, we can work on building confidence, finding balance, and creating positive momentum. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and capable, I’d love to support you on your journey.

I have extensive experience with individual therapy, working for substance use treatment centers, and working at various psychiatric hospitals. I have worked in roles including Behavioral Health Tech, Case Management, Primary Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor. I have worked with age groups ranging from young children to geriatrics. I firmly believe that in order to help someone, you have to understand them. In order to understand someone, you require personal life experience to truly understand where they are coming from. I am very passionate about what I do. People have asked me previously if I enjoy what I do. I inform them that in my perspective, this is what I "designed" to be. There is no "taking off the therapy hat" for me - this is simply who I am and my purpose. You will learn very quickly how dedicated I am to serving people. I am well-versed in both DSM-IV and DSM-5 (the manuals used to diagnose someone). I have dedicated approximately 31 years of my life to this. Many clients throughout the years told me in their words that I am the "best therapist" they ever had. I encourage you to hire me and judge for yourself. I was entered into two international honor societies (top 15% of students in the field across the span of 8 countries with a flawless 4.0 GPA). Please note: I am a licensed mental health counselor. If you are seeking medication management, you will need to book an appointment with a psychiatrist.
