They bring five years of clinical experience and a particular strength in working with children and adolescents ages four to 18, as well as with women and their children during addiction recovery.

Their therapeutic style is welcoming, non-judgmental, and relationship-focused, grounded in compassion and steady encouragement even when change feels difficult. While they respect diagnoses, they emphasize that people are more than the labels they receive.

Teresa favors a bottom-up approach that integrates the body, breath-work, and image-making to help build new neural connections and habits, combining these practices with research-informed strategies for emotional regulation and narrative change. They collaborate with each person to create a treatment plan that fits individual goals. Teresa has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, addictions, self-worth issues, grief and loss, relationship and family challenges, abuse, parenting difficulties, and sleep or eating concerns.

They believe meaningful progress comes through small steps and steady support, and they looks forward to accompanying people on their path toward healing and growth.

Attachment, Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Care Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In accessible, relational work, it helps people understand how past bonds influence present reactions and supports building more secure ways of relating.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the personâs own experience, offering empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that the person feels heard and empowered to identify goals and choices. This approach supports self-exploration and personal growth across many concerns.

Teresa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. They work with each person to combine these methods in ways that match individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from different locations while still working with a consistent therapist.
