Testimonials

  • Sometimes people tell stories about something I did in the years before I met Teresa, and I don't even recognize that person. My three years with her were truly transformative. Teresa's specialty in grief and loss also extends to the grief you feel at the loss of a relationship. I went to Teresa after breaking up with my boyfriend of five years because I didn't even know who I was without him. Together we discovered that I wasn't treating myself with the compassion I gave to so many others. After some time and great improvement, Teresa didn't keep me coming back unnecessarily — we tapered off to every other week and eventually ended therapy in a much better place. I am endlessly grateful to Teresa for how much better my life is today.

  • Teresa’s counsel was invaluable to me after I unexpectedly lost my mother. She gently and kindly helped me navigate my grief and gave me helpful tools to manage stress and anxiety when my father was diagnosed with cancer. She helped me discover and better appreciate meditation and mindfulness, and this has helped me greatly.

  • Teresa and I worked together for a little over three years. She’ll tell you how much I disliked therapy in the beginning, however, her patient presence and ability to fill the conversation kept me coming back until I was truly comfortable. She helped me through one of the loneliest and most destabilizing times in my life. She worked with me to connect the dots of life events and helped me understand how those events have affected who I am today. This has enabled me to practice more self-compassion and to continue to heal. I’ll always be grateful for her support.

  • Therapy with Teresa helped me to understand my history of trauma and to address its impact in a safe and constructive manner. With her guidance I have been able to develop more meaningful and intentional relationships with my family and friends.
