About Teri
Her style is relationship-focused and straightforward. She uses client-centered conversations alongside Cognitive Behavioral strategies and practical solution-focused steps. Clients are invited to name goals and try changes that feel doable in daily life.
Teri draws on a broad life and professional background to help people connect strengths and values with real choices. She helps clients look at how thoughts, actions, and relationships interact and what can be adjusted to reduce distress and increase meaning.
Faith is an important part of her practice for those who want it included. She encourages clients to explore spiritual beliefs alongside personal and relational growth when desired, while remaining respectful of different values.
In sessions people typically work on clearer communication, managing anxiety or depression, coping with grief and loss, and addressing parenting or blended family stresses. Teri aims to help people take practical steps toward more stable moods, better relationships, and clearer direction in life.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a supportive working relationship. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings, values, or life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific goals and small steps that move a person toward change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which tools and strategies to try and adjust the plan as things change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since session types are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows continuing support through life transitions like career shifts, caregiving stress, or midlife changes by keeping appointments consistent with daily routines.
