What's My Approach to Therapy?

I’m Terri, a counselor specializing in self-esteem counseling. As your therapist, I meet clients where they are without judgment or expectation, creating space for honest reflection and forward movement. My goal in therapy is to provide the tools and support needed to reach meaningful outcomes. Together, we’ll explore this journey at your pace, building confidence and clarity along the way. The one thing I always tell clients in cognitive therapy for low self-esteem is that they already have the answers. I’m here to help them discover what is already inside themselves. We hold vast resources within us that, for whatever reason, are masked. We will gently remove that mask together and find the beauty and strength already within.

My Practice & Services

I am a grief counselor offering in-person and online grief therapy and counseling to the bereaved. In our first few sessions, we will focus on building trust and rapport. I need to understand your history and the reasons you came to therapy. From there, we will develop a plan together that outlines what we’re working toward, your goals, and your dreams. I’ve seen and experienced how grief and loss can hold us back. I believe that understanding these feelings is the first step toward moving forward. I tailor my approach to your unique life experiences and the goals you set.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

A little bit about me. I love to travel. I have been to more than 20 countries. I hold a musical theater degree and used to work on cruise ships as onboard entertainment. I also performed in theater and bands throughout the US. I am a huge animal lover and have rarely been without some sort of pet my whole life. These have included creatures from dogs and cats to flying squirrels and ferrets.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I like to say that my Masters degree is nothing compared to my life degree! My life has definitely had it's share of ups and downs. But when I discovered a good therapist in my late twenties, I finally was able to get a handle on my life and my future. That is what I bring to you. That experience and knowledge of having had a ringside seat at some of life's hardest moments, yet finding help through therapy, exploration and personal growth.
