Today's changing world has led to struggles with loss, grief and transition. These struggles threaten our physical, mental and spiritual health. When we are desperate for relief, poor coping can lead to devastating consequences such as addiction, depression, physical health issues, and other self-destructive behaviors. I believe that addiction affects the mind, body and spirit and is potentially life-threatening but treatable. Recovery is achieving one's best self physically, mentally and spiritually.

I went on to obtain my Master's in Social Work degree from New York University in 1992.

I joined the Blue Skies Psychological Services in 2021 and provide services through the group practice.

We live in a high stress, fast paced society which could make it difficult to care for ourselves holistically (mind, body and spirit). This could lead to feeling unbalanced. I can help you identify and reach goals you will need on your path toward wellness. Therapy can help you relieve emotional stress and symptoms, realize your fullest potential and empower you to make positive, lasting changes in your life. In therapy, you will learn about yourself through looking within, develop skills and increase mindfulness as you become better able to confront life stress and obstacles you may be faced with.

As someone who suffered from anxiety & trauma, I can tell you that I spent years looking for the right therapist & I just wanted results. I knew I had the potential to achieve so much more and create a life that I was excited about living, but I didn’t know where to start. I saw many therapists over the years & I was sick of just TALKING & re-living things over and over without seeing improvement. Finally, I met a therapist that changed my life. He introduced me to brainspotting, & IFS. I was skeptical at first but I was open minded & tried it out. I learned that trauma is stored in the body & that talk therapy doesn’t address that.

Teresa has worked for years helping Adult Childrenand their family that are or have lived with someones's alcohol and drug abuse & feels like the addiction has made their lives unmanagable.It is important to talk honestly with family members about what is happening in the family and to help them express their concerns and feelings.Families with alcohol and drug problems usually have high levels of stress and confusion.These family memebers need to have their experiences validated and learn that they did not cause it they cannot control the addiction, and they cannot cure the addiction.

I have an interpersonal style, and believe in treating the whole family unit. It is most important to create an atmosphere of trust and comfort, along with the clear boundaries of practice. However, the most important aspect of treatment is all parties working together to achieve the goal. No therapist, without cooperation of all parties, will be able to achieve goals.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes “overwhelming” and “unfair” seem like more accurate descriptions. When comfort, happiness, fulfillment, and optimism have become lost in the shadows of troublesome life experiences, it is hard to figure out our next step. Though it might be scary, contacting a counselor is the first step toward reclaiming the satisfaction that’s been since-missing. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or looking for a new counselor that better suits your needs, you’ve come to the right place.
