I am...If I asked you to fill in the blank to the question "I am ____," what would you answer? What would you want to answer? What would other people answer about you? This is a great place to start in figuring out your goals for therapy: Who or what do you imagine yourself becoming? Have you found that you are tired, struggling to get a good night's sleep? Have you found it difficult to concentrate, with your mind racing and often not really hearing what people are saying? Do you find that you are forgetful, confused or just "off?" These are a few common symptoms that people come to therapy for. Often times, I can help you in reducing, alleviating and managing these symptoms. I have worked with ages 4 through 102 and have over 15 years experience in working in the mental health and substance use fields. I have worked with all types of populations with a special focus on the military communities, law enforcement, first responders and their dependents. Being that each individual is unique, with their own story, situation, personality and coping styles, I provide an eclectic style of therapy (blended therapies) that will best fit your individual needs and goals. It would be my honor and privilege to work with you through your journey in becoming who it is you desire to be. My hope is to hear you say, "I am happy to be me." Typically the hardest part of therapy is picking up the phone to make the initial appointment. Remember, I am here and will help walk you through the process. Give therapy a try. Don't think about what you have to lose but what you may gain...freedom to be your TRUE self. |
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING...
Everything seemed to be spiraling out of control and it was one of the hardest things that we have endured. The first time we met Tera, we were at our wit's end and felt like giving up on therapy. Our child has experienced so much trauma but Tera received us with open arms and has never turned her back on us. Therapy has definitely had its challenges because most of it has been virtual because of COVID-19. This hasn't stopped Tera from helping our child understand our child's emotions and feelings. She keeps it real and really breaks down every single little thing so that our child understands. She pays very close attention to detail and is very easy to talk to. If you're looking for help with trauma, Tera can definitely help you.

Tera helped me though the darkest period of my life following the homicidal death of my son. When Tera first me me, I was in the throes of deep grief and overwhelming anger. With her background in hospice care and experience in the juvenile justice system, she was the perfect person to have by my side. With Tera's help, I am slowly but surely emerging from the dark shadows of grief and allowing myself to feel hopeful about life once again. One of the tools Tera used during our sessions is EMDR, which proved to be extremely helpful in releasing past traumas that were re-triggered by my son's death. I'm grateful that I've been able to heal many longstanding, painful, emotional wounds during this grief process.
