More about Teresa

I work with mothers, especially those who are also treatment providers, offering support and counseling for burnout, depression, anxiety, and traumatic loss. This is a unique population, and I aim to come alongside you with understanding and care. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of all healing. When you feel safe and supported in therapy, meaningful change and positive outcomes can follow.
