About me

Hi! I am so excited for what the future holds for you by taking this first step. It takes tremendous courage, but you and your happiness are absolutely worth it! You deserve to be happy and live a fulfilling life. I believe that with every ounce of my being. I have made helping people get out of their own way my life’s mission and work, starting with myself. Know that all of my advice is never something that I have not done for myself.

Let me start by telling you about myself. I have been a licensed therapist in MA for the past ten years. I graduated with my Masters degree in Clinical Behavioral Psychology from UMA of Dartmouth in 2004 and obtained my LMHC in 2006. I have worked with children and adults, with issues ranging from Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, healing from trauma and adjusting to major life changes. What I love the most about this work is creating a space that is safe enough for individuals to do the inner work which will lead them to a more fulfilled life. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone and is not about masking or escaping our emotions. It is about learning how to honor them, and having the tools to navigate through what you are feeling instead of allowing your feelings to control and define who you are. Only then can we navigate any circumstance that comes into our lives and feel like we are the master of our own fate.

Additionally, as a wife and mother of two young children, I know the challenges that couples face in transitioning from just the two of you. Being a mother is the best and hardest thing in my life. I also know first-hand the challenges a woman can face in her identity during this very vulnerable time. Since becoming a mom I have become passionate in helping woman not just regain a sense of who they were, but better yet, create an even greater version of themselves.

I have also been studying and coaching in motivational psychology for twenty years. Having also been certified in energy medicine, my style is more holistic and spiritual. I have found, that one of the commonalities that my clients possess is the inability in the present moment to fully and unconditionally love and accept themselves. That, in my opinion, is one of the most difficult things to learn how to do. But, the most important to learn if we are to live the life that we so desire and deserve for ourselves. I use many approaches and customize your treatment plan to what will work for you and your specific situation. I respect how much courage it takes to start or continue this journey. But, I wholeheartedly believe that investing the time to take care of ourselves in this way is the most worthwhile thing we can do for ourselves and the ones we love. I feel so very honored to be able to do this work and never take for granted the trust that is created in the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working with you and being a guide that can introduce you to a happier and more empowered you!!

Terry has been there for me at all hours of the day and night after the break up with my boyfriend. Without hesitation, Terry reached out to me immediately when I let her know what was happening with the best advice and support anyone could give. Terry is simply the best

Terry has been a wonderful addition to my mental health care. She helps me to navigate relationships that can sometimes be tricky as well as provide a good ear when I just need to vent about issues in my life.

Terry helped me through a tough family situation and gave me some great coping tools that I still use regularly (my sister was impressed and even said "you've been in therapy, haven't you?"). Would highly recommend!
