Specializing in Social &
Intimate Relationships Since 1996

"Our marriage was unraveling.
We were spending so much time taking care of our kids, parents and jobs, that
we were no longer taking care of each other.  One of our children has special needs making it all the more challenging.  Teresa helped us reconnect; she was instrumental in saving our marriage." ~ Client in Bellingham, WA

Email Consultation
& Therapy Now Available

Email consultation has become, by far, one my most requested services.  If you're interested in this very effective form of counseling or consultation, I invite you to learn more, schedule your sessions, and begin making positive changes in your life today!

Writing allow us such expression; it's our oldest form of communication!  In a therapeutic or consultative setting, it's been shown to result in a more honest, less inhibited expression of emotions.  Personal time
for reflection, processing of information, and optimally, insight are prime benefits of this type of therapy or consultation as well.

Of course there are other benefits as well: Your geographic location is no longer a barrier to receiving compassionate, exemplary care.  Neither are the weather, physical limitations, or scheduling difficulties
(I make every effort to accommodate your schedule and begin working with you as soon as possible).

Just have a question or two?  Email consultation is perfect!  You'll receive the same exemplary care
and attention.  Go to Email Consultation to learn more.

Offering You a
Positive, Proactive Approach

Brief, solutions-focused consultation or therapy is just the answer for many of my clients; and may be perfect for you. If you're endlessly dealing with the same old problems and feel as if you're spinning your wheels trying to solve the same old problems with your life and relationships, don't try harder; do something different to get the results that work for you.

Often what's needed is a new perspective and if you work best in a collaborative effort that helps you get answers to your questions instead of just more questions, I can help.

With my approach, you can expect compassion, empathy, and real solutions to help you gain clarity and get results.  I offer several popular packages to meet both your time constraints and budget.  Learn more about how email, Skype and office visits work on my Schedule a Session page or email me today for more information.

Procrastination doesn't solve problems, action does; and this is particularly true for emotional and relation-
ship issues.  While it may be possible for time to eventually "heal all wounds", time alone doesn't resolve challenges you may be facing as an individual, a couple, or a family.  Whether, for you, this is clarity, insight, or an established plan of action, therapy can help.

I believe you'll experience through our work together, as many of my clients have, that taking a positive, proactive approach to resolving them can greatly optimize your time and efforts; and I'm here to help you do just that.

And if you feel as if you should be happy, and that others are not as well off, let me say emphatically that there are times when even the strongest of us need help.  And when you do, you needn't compare your problems against someone else's.  You, and the issues you're facing, are most important and deserve attention.

I use Positive Psychology in our work together to help you gain all this and more; positive emotions, strengths and virtues - identifying and optimizing those you already possess and gaining new.  Far from being "Pollyanna" in nature, positive psychology is a very unique and effective approach to helping you construct the life you were meant to live.

When selecting me as your therapist, you can be assured of exemplary care, compassion, and empathy.  I attend to your immediate needs and develop a customized, goal-oriented treatment plan, allowing us to move with purpose to a resolution of you issues.  What you learn about yourself and your relationship can help you far beyond the end of our therapy relationship!
