About me

I am licensed in Iowa to provide mental health and substance abuse counseling. I believe that throughout our lives, we can all have experiences that take us in so many directions, each one unique to us and our life experiences. I also know that there are things that can create stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of guilt and shame, and events that feel like they are too much to handle on our own. I have worked with adolescents for over 13 years, and believe that learning how to navigate this world as a teen can be hard, and have a unique set of challenges that can feel like no one else understands how it feels for you. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Theresa’s guidance has been instrumental in my healing journey, she puts a-lot of I time and effort into our sessions. Her insights and expertise have helped me gain a better understanding of myself and develop new coping skills that I know will serve me well in the future. She is an excellent therapist! I feel very fortunate to have her as my therapist.

Teresa was there for me in a very tough time in my life. She is a compassionate listener, and takes the time to understand your story.

Teresa is everything I’ve ever wanted in a therapist. She helps me explore why I frame things the way I do, and helps me find ways to reframe so my experience of life improves

Teresa is very sweet and empathetic. She is good at really hearing what I say and meeting me at my level. I also appreciate that we talk about strategies or steps to take in each session. She is a wonderful support.

I’ve only been lucky enough to have one session so far but the first session was wonderful. I switched therapists a couple of times looking for that ‘connection’. I think she will be a great fit for me and my needs!
