I work with a lot of different clients, and specialize in seeing clients from the LGBTQ+ community. Because I treat everyone like I would like to be treated, clients find it easy to have a rapport with me. I am always genuine and authentic and I provide a safe place for difficult discussions about sexuality, relationships, anxiety, grief, trauma, and identity role confusion. I also have experience working with couples on relationship issues and working with families to help resolve conflict within their relationship dynamics.

Hello, I'm Theresa. It can be difficult to know if we are making choices to live the life that we want for ourselves. Many people are questioning themselves about how they fit in the world. There comes a point when we need to take inventory and review ourselves and our goals. Therapy can be a great tool to evaluate, recalculate, and develop plans to reach your goals and the life that you want for yourself. I believe in meeting you where you are and starting your journey from there. I see my role as utilizing my experience and knowledge to help empower you as you make your way from where you are to where you want to be.

It takes energy to get here. Maybe life feels like too much or too little; over or underwhelming; Maybe you need more energy or more calm; maybe you don’t know where to start, whether you want to focus on the past or present; beginnings or endings. You might be rewriting an existing story or creating something entirely new... Wherever life finds you, you are welcome, secure and believed in our space. If you are struggling, you are human; you are not burdensome, oversensitive or inferior.

When working with adults, I focus on exploring past experiences to understand how they shape present thoughts and emotions. I also help clients identify unconscious patterns that may influence their emotional well-being, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, healing, and inner peace. When working with children, I aim to support emotional recognition and regulation, teach grounding strategies, and help them navigate common childhood transitions such as new family dynamics, school changes, peer conflicts, and academic stress.

Life is hard. We have many stressors and can feel overwhelmed. From worrying about getting the bills paid, to concerns for the safety and health of ourselves and loved ones. Experiencing situations currently or in our past that no human being should experience. Feeling grief for the loss of loved ones, relationships, and other situations that bring us joy. This is depressing. Some deal with this culturally. Other’s begin to question and lose their faith as a result. The end result is that we’re left feeling hopeless and powerless. And we’re surviving more than living.

I believe that each client that seeks out psychotherapy has strengths. These strengths may be untapped, unrecognized, or underutilized. But they exist. I assist in connecting my clients to their internal resources. My clients also present with challenges for which they have an investment to change. Change, both immediate and long-lasting, are at the heart of psychotherapy.
