She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and brings decades of practical work with adults, adolescents, children, and families. Teri blends clinical knowledge with life experience to help people facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and self-worth struggles.

Teri frequently supports high-functioning professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, therapists in their own self-care, and people new to therapy who want a stronger emotional foundation. Her background includes work with complex childhood trauma, PTSD, blended family issues, and grief among other concerns. She also brings meditation practice and mindfulness teaching into sessions when useful.
Her sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills for better emotional regulation and relationships. She encourages honest, committed effort and works alongside clients to set clear goals and steps. Teri stresses compassion for oneself as a key part of change.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, practical exercises, and attention to attachment and family patterns that affect current life. She draws on many traditions to match tools to a person’s needs. If someone is ready to do the work, she helps turn insight into real behavior change.
