In therapy, she helps clients identify what is driving distress, make sense of patterns, and begin healing in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. She aims to provide a supportive space where clients can tell their story, feel understood, and build a clearer path forward without having to do it alone.
Theresia is an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Master’s level Marriage and Family Therapist, with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She also completed eight years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University in Marriage and Family Therapy, with an emphasis on relationships, family dynamics, attachment concerns, and codependency patterns. This advanced training informs her understanding of how relationships and family systems can shape emotions, coping, and day-to-day functioning.
She supports clients with concerns such as depression, rumination and overthinking, anxiety, trauma and difficult memories, self-esteem and confidence challenges, relationship attachments, and codependency. With a strong focus on relationships, she helps people recognize repeated cycles, strengthen boundaries, and clarify what they need in partnerships and family relationships. Her style is direct and grounded, and she prioritizes honest feedback paired with practical strategies to help clients build resilience, confidence, and greater clarity.
