About Terri


I believe there is always hope for healing, for every situation and every person who enters into therapy, whether they come as an individual, a couple, or a family navigating complexity together—where there is a willingness, there is a way forward. I also believe change is always possible; while it rarely follows a straight line or happens all at once, small, incremental steps taken over time can lead to meaningful and lasting transformation. Given enough time and distance, even a shift of a single degree will lead you to a much different location—you don’t have to change everything today to end up somewhere new; just take a step.


Healthy relational connections are an essential part of the healing process, and I place great importance on creating a safe, compassionate, and trusting therapeutic relationship. Healing happens in the context of connectedness, when people feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Finally, I believe that for therapy to be effective, safety to show up as one’s authentic self is critical—I work to create a space where clients can be their true selves, bringing all parts of themselves into the room: the parts that feel strong and capable, as well as the parts that feel tender, unsure, or weary. My practice is grounded in a holistic understanding of mental and emotional health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, relationships, and spirit.


I aim to provide a warm, caring, and non-judgemental space for clients to enter and be seen, heard, and supported in gaining self-understanding and reaching their goals. I approach therapy from a person-centered, strengths-based, trauma- and grief-informed lens, and I draw from a variety of modalities, including DBT, CBT, EFT, SFBT, and narrative therapy, as best suits each client’s needs and goals. I am also happy to integrate a faith-based approach if desired, incorporating Christian counselling for those seeking such support.


My personal and professional experience involves working with grief and loss; I understand that grief takes many forms, is complex and deeply personal, does not follow any prescriptive timeline, and is a natural response to loss. Additionally, I support caregivers experiencing stress and burnout, helping them reconnect with themselves while meeting the demands of caring for loved ones. I also have experience working with individuals and couples navigating issues of faith and spirituality, including those wrestling with questions of meaning, doubt, and belonging. Trauma is another key focus of my work, and I approach it with a lens that prioritizes safety, choice, and empowerment. I provide therapy for individuals as well as couples and families, recognizing that healing often involves both personal growth and relational repair.



No matter where you are starting from or the challenges you are facing, I believe your story matters, your pain deserves compassionate care, and healing is possible.
