Who I Help
I work with teens (12+), adults, older adults, and families who may be:
- Struggling with alcohol or substance use
- Court-mandated to attend therapy
- Trying to reduce or stop use but don’t know how
- Navigating high-risk situations or relapses
- Supporting a loved one with addiction
- Experiencing stress, anxiety, or life instability
I also support parents and caregivers who are trying to help a loved one while managing their own stress.
Addiction doesn’t just affect individuals—it impacts families. I support parents and caregivers in understanding substance use, improving communication, and creating healthier family dynamics.
My Approach
My approach is supportive, structured, and focused on real progress. I understand that recovery is a process, and I work with you step-by-step to create meaningful change.
In our work together, I use:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and behaviors
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation
- Motivational Interviewing to support change and readiness
- Goal-setting strategies for both short-term and long-term progress
We will focus on building practical tools you can use in everyday life—not just during sessions.
I have experience working with court-mandated clients and individuals in high-risk situations. Therapy can help you meet requirements while also creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.
What to Expect in Therapy with Terri
Starting therapy—especially for substance use—can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone.
In sessions, you can expect:
- A non-judgmental and supportive environment
- Clear goals and structured progress
- Honest conversations about challenges and change
- Tools to help you reduce risk and build stability
My goal is to help you move toward a healthier, more stable lifestyle at your own pace.
