Hi, my name is Theresia, but you can call me Tee! I understand that right now you may be feeling lost, frustrated, angry, hurt, and depressed; believe it or not...I’ve been there! I get what it’s like to feel hopeless, scared, worried, alone, and overwhelmed. Right now, you may not even know what you feel. I know you have many questions, yet few answers to what is happening in your life right now. This is where I come in. Together, we will get to the root of what's beneath the mask. Yeah...that mask, we all have one. People may see us one way, but what you are carrying beneath it... That's what we will get through together. My goal is to help you identify what's beneath your mask, to help you heal. It can be exhausting, but you don't have to do it alone. I am here to help, listen to you tell your story, and help you figure out how to move forward in your life. More importantly, I am here to give you support and understanding so you do not have to do this alone. I promise you I will provide a safe place for you. Now, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist, with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition, I completed 8 years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on relationships and understanding family dynamics, attachment issues, and patterns of codependency. This advanced training has deepened my understanding of relationships, family dynamics, child development, and how to address unique challenges. My expertise includes helping with managing depression, rumination and overthinking, trauma, releasing trauma, and trapped emotions from your body, relationship attachments, codependency, and more. Also, I work with people who have low self-esteem or confidence issues, and I provide effective ways to manage and reduce anxiety. I help you figure out why you feel the way you do and how you can change it. Also, as a relationship expert, I can help you understand why you may find yourself repeating unhealthy cycles in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or even trying to figure out what you want. My PhD level education and extensive training in family dynamics, personality traits, and even societal pressures have allowed me to help many build and maintain healthy relationships. In our sessions, we will explore attachment styles and personality traits that can better help you understand your relationships. As a clinician, I go beyond the "textbook" version of counseling. By this, I mean that I understand the value of engaging with you, being relatable and realistic about your needs, and supporting you in your efforts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy (SFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) are my preferred therapeutic modalities. Aside from these, I have been trained in many other modalities, so my approach to therapy is eclectic. Thus, your counseling experience will be genuine and tailored to your specific situation. I am down to earth, and I am always available to offer relevant feedback and support. As you go through the current conflict or crisis in your life, I am here to listen and support you. Whether you are seeking meaning, managing depression, anxiety, difficulty in a relationship, or dealing with traumatic memories, I am here to support and help you. What makes me different? Well for one, I won't sugarcoat it. I will be honest with you and tell you what I see, because if I am not being honest with you, then I am not helping you. I will then help you to cope, heal, and build emotional resilience, and confidence, and provide you with strategies that help you gain clarity in your life. I understand this is a vulnerable experience for you, so I will support you every step of the way. In addition to this, I will engage with you throughout the week so we are not just meeting once a week, but talking, interacting, and working on the problems that led you here. This is a judgment-free zone that will give you the freedom to be yourself and discuss what is happening in your life. My goal is to build you up to the point of resiliency so that you can advocate for yourself. You may leave me a message at any time, and I will respond to you as quickly as I can with relevant feedback on your conflict. The process will not be easy, but it is possible. I make it my business to understand your experience and offer realistic feedback and interventions to help you. I see each client as unique, and therefore my strategies are genuine to your specific need. I am here waiting to help you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

As a licensed therapist in Florida with four decades of experience, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship dynamics, and trauma with a compassionate, affirming approach. I have deep expertise in working with diverse populations, including military veterans, individuals exploring gender identity, and those experiencing discrimination or relationship complexities. My therapeutic approach honors each person's unique journey, focusing on communication, life purpose, healing from shame, and personal growth.

I approach therapy with genuine empathy, respect, and a dedication to understanding each individual's distinct path and potential.

Most people don’t work with me because things are “kind of hard.” They come because something isn’t working anymore. Individuals often reach out feeling anxious, discouraged, or emotionally worn down—stuck in looping thoughts, struggling to find motivation, and wondering why even small things feel harder than they should. Couples often arrive after the same arguments keep repeating, followed by long stretches of silence or emotional distance, both partners feeling misunderstood and unsure how to break the cycle. I work with both individuals and couples who want more than surface-level relief. My approach is practical, forward-looking, and focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the patterns you’re stuck in—so you can begin making real, sustainable changes. Working With Individuals When anxiety or depression has been present for a while, it often shows up as a mix of emotional heaviness, high anxiety, low motivation, and strain in relationships. Many individuals I work with feel mentally exhausted and frustrated with themselves for not “handling things better,” even though they’re trying. My work with individuals focuses on helping you understand your emotional patterns, regulate intense feelings, and develop practical skills for managing symptoms in everyday life. Rather than just talking about what hurts, we work toward clarity and direction—so you know what you’re dealing with and what to do when symptoms show up. Clients often say they feel more hopeful within the first few weeks because they finally have a clear sense of what’s going on and a realistic plan for addressing it. Early wins—such as improved emotion regulation—help rebuild confidence and momentum. Working With Couples Couples usually come to me caught in a familiar cycle: frequent, recurring conflict followed by long periods of silence or emotional withdrawal. Arguments tend to repeat, resolution feels temporary, and both partners are left feeling disconnected or defeated. In my work with couples, I focus on helping each partner understand their relationship blueprint—their expectations, assumptions, and ways of relating—and how those differ from their partner’s. Most couples aren’t struggling because one person is wrong. They’re struggling because their expectations are misaligned, and each assumes the other’s way of relating is the problem. As couples gain insight into these differences and develop new skills, conflict typically becomes less frequent, less intense, and shorter in duration. Communication improves, emotional safety increases, and repair becomes more possible. A Practical, Coaching-Oriented Approach My style is often described as more coaching-oriented than traditional counseling. While we don’t ignore past experiences, our work is primarily forward-looking. Understanding the past can be helpful, but it isn’t required for significant, meaningful change. I focus on teaching practical skills, setting clear goals together, and helping clients stay accountable to what they say they want for themselves and their relationships. This includes structured homework, weekly review, and ongoing adjustment—so insight turns into real-world change. Many clients tell me this approach has been more effective than years of standard counseling. Who Is a Good Fit? Individuals tend to do best in my work if they’re looking not just for emotional support (though you'll get that), but also for practical help managing anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. Couples tend to do best when both partners are committed to making the marriage work, even if they feel discouraged or disconnected right now. If you value clarity, structure, and actionable change—and you’re willing to engage the process—my approach is likely a strong fit. Faith and Values I work respectfully with clients from a variety of backgrounds and belief systems. I will never proselytize or impose my personal faith on anyone. At the same time, I’m comfortable engaging faith as a meaningful part of life and relationships when clients want that included. For Christian individuals and couples, I’m able to honor and work within our faith commitments in a thoughtful, grounded way. For those who are not religious, our work remains practical, focused, and fully respectful of your worldview. My background includes an MS in Counselor Education from Mississippi State University, an MDiv from Baylor University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida. I’ve served as a psychologist and professor in university settings and am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Florida.
