Hi there, I'm Teresa!

Sometimes life hands us difficult moments. That could include depression, anxiety, low-self-esteem, maybe grief, amongst other things. My job as a therapist is to provide you with the tools to help you navigate through these challenging moments but also give you the space where you will feel at ease to share them.

My focus

Are you feeling anxious, sad, not feeling confident? Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience that is getting in the way of you living your life to the fullest? There are a variety of tools that will help build a more meaningful existence, help with healing and change, by instilling hope and confidence for a healthier future.

My approach

I use several therapeutic approaches. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) helps you recognize and challenge any negative thinking/beliefs. I also use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which helps process traumatic experiences that are causing distress. We will work as a team.
