Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Tera! I’m a licensed therapist who helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns of overthinking and people-pleasing. I’ll help you understand yourself with compassion while also challenging the habits that keep you from feeling grounded and confident. Together, we’ll work on practical tools to calm your nervous system, set healthy boundaries, and create more balance in your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel more calm and in control of your life. I combine practical, evidence-based strategies with a warm and empowering style. Together, we’ll identify the patterns (like overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism) that keep you feeling stuck, and work on tools to help you set boundaries, manage anxiety, and build self-trust. I often integrate mindfulness and nervous system regulation to help you reconnect with your body and respond to stress more effectively.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood — no pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll talk about what’s been feeling heavy or overwhelming, identify what matters most to you, and begin connecting your goals to your core values. You can expect a collaborative, judgment-free environment where we move at your pace and start building a plan that supports both relief in the short term and growth that lasts.
