About me

I earned my bachelor’s in Social work from the University of Montana in 1996. Since that time, in 2003, I earned my Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW.

I have over 20 years of experience working with patients of all ages. I have clinical experience with outpatient, intensive outpatient and psychological inpatient. I believe in a person-centered counseling approach where my clients can feel a sense of respect and autonomy. I also have experience as a medical social worker that enhances my ability to work with comorbid diseases. l am well versed with cognitive behavioral therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy , ACT. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing for clients suffering from anxiety, panic, PTSD, or trauma. It's a way to get past your past. In addition, I utilize motivational interviewing skills, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and I have experience working with addictions. Furthermore, with addictions comes co-occurring disorders that I have had the privilege of working with. Your goals are what are important to me and will be the foundation of our therapeutic journey. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help and I recognize the courage that it takes. No matter what struggle you are facing, I hope it is one that we can work on together!

With her level of experience and the care and interest she puts in to her clients I would highly recommend. She has a very nice non judgemental demeanor and is always easy to talk to.

Teresa has been a godsend, I started with her before my divorce, but she has been the beacon I needed to help me find my way through these turbulent waters. I look forward to each session more than anything in my life these days. Her reflection and questions are so driving. I’m excited every time I have an appointment scheduled.

Written on Jun 19, 2023 after therapy with Teresa for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, and coaching

Teresa has been absolutely amazing in helping me find my voice in sensitive situations. I am generally a vocal person in my day to day life but when it starts to involve my family, I get a little nervous about being as outspoken as I naturally am due to my own inner issues that I’m working through. Teresa has been the perfect therapist to help me feel empowered in my actions and decisions to work towards a healthier baseline me.
