Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services combine traditional clinical techniques with innovative approaches to address emotional challenges and promote mental wellness. We specialize in trauma recovery, life transitions, and relationship issues through personalized treatment plans. With over 25 years of experience working with diverse populations, our practice integrates evidence-based methods with creative modalities to support lasting change.
Spiritual Counseling
Spiritual counseling sessions focus on connecting with inner wisdom and exploring life's deeper questions through a non-denominational framework. We help clients develop spiritual practices that enhance personal growth and resilience. Our approach integrates mindfulness techniques and contemplative practices to support clients' unique spiritual journeys while maintaining psychological safety.
Expressive Arts
Expressive arts therapy utilizes creative processes to facilitate emotional expression and self-discovery. We incorporate art-making, movement, and other creative modalities to access non-verbal aspects of experience. This approach helps clients process complex emotions and develop new perspectives through hands-on creative exploration in a supportive environment.
Experiential Modalities
Our experiential modalities include Jungian Sandplay and mindfulness-based practices that engage the whole person in the healing process. These techniques access unconscious material through sensory experiences and embodied awareness. We tailor these innovative approaches to complement traditional therapy and address specific client needs through multi-dimensional healing experiences.
Officiant Services
We design personalized life-cycle ceremonies that honor significant transitions and milestones. Our services include wedding ceremonies, memorials, and transformational rituals that incorporate spiritual elements and personal symbolism. We create meaningful ceremonial spaces that reflect clients' values and facilitate emotional healing through intentional ritual experiences.

I had just gone through a painful divorce and I was worried about the effects on my children. My 9 year old daughter was slightly anxious, tearful, and rageful. The hardest part was that she was keeping it all in and not telling me anything that was happening for her. She was quiet in school and wasnt sure how to advocate for herself. Through her work with Therese, I watched my daughter begin to find her voice and gain strength, power and confidence that I never knew she possessed.
The unfolding of this courageous, powerful young girl was the best gift anyone could ever have given to me. Therese lovingly and gently guided my daughter through her darkest and saddest times, giving her the voice she needed to heal and to find her way. I am forever grateful as is my daughter and I continue to refer people to Therese almost weekly! She is truly a gifted clinician and I feel so lucky that we have her in our corner if we ever need to see her again.
