Her background includes five years of clinical experience and practice in trauma-informed approaches that consider mind, body, and spirit.

Online session options
Working with narrative and attachment-focused care online
Teresa combines Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to help people understand how their life stories and close relationships shape current struggles. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate a person from the problem so new possibilities can emerge. Attachment-Based ideas focus on patterns from early relationships and how they affect trust, safety, and connection in adult life. Client-Centered work keeps the person’s goals and values at the center and emphasizes acceptance, respect, and collaboration.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Teresa will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She aims to build a cooperative plan so techniques match your needs and preferences rather than applying a fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice skills together, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between meetings.
