She aspires to provide a safe, collaborative counseling relationship that promote self-exploration, learning, and personal growth. Terri believes in the importance of examining both the person’s present situation as well as the contexts in which one has experienced life to render true understanding. Her style is collaborative and informed by interpersonal, cognitive, psychodynamic, attachment, polyvagal, and Internal Family Systems.
