Her expertise in marital and family therapy, as well as her experience with those around her has really made her well rounded, trustworthy and professional. I would recommend that anybody visit her.

Of the past few therapists I've had in 5 years Terry is by far the most helpful . She helps me by giving me exercises to do when mad or stressed . She's helping deal with many traumas I've been through recently and helps me by proving my negative thoughts and feelings are truly just me making them up most of the time. She gives me great suggestions and advice on how to handle situations and people that used to baffle me . Thank you soo much , I'm soo grateful for all your help Terry . More...

I highly recommend Terry as a clinician for all. She has an excellent perceptive skill to assess what is going on with people, combined with a deeply empathetic, intricately guiding, and enriching approach to allow for insight and to discover paths to solutions and personal growth. Terry has an essence that puts you at ease, as well as the experience to open doors you thought were closed. I refer to her as a true artisan of psychotherapy;with a balanced mix of the art and science of helping others. More...

Why should our clients choose you?
I am empathetic and very passionate about my job. My modality is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that focuses on improving your thoughts and behaviors which affect the way you feel) and solution focused. My approach to each client is tailored to his or her unique needs. In working with couples, I emphasize on solution- focused therapy. I use role play to pinpoint the pattern of the couple’s argument and I guide them to adapt a positive style of communication. This allows the couple to move past their resentments and hurt, to find intimacy.
