Theresa is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, having earned a MA in Couple and Family Counseling from Northeastern Illinois University. As a therapist living abroad and counseling expatriates, she worked with a wide variety of people, cultures, and circumstances. Theresa’s approach varies with the client situation and their goals, and often includes using attachment, cognitive, and systemic therapies. Her experience in couples counseling ranges from pre-marital counseling and relational issues to recovering from infidelity. Theresa also sees adults with depression and anxiety, grief and trauma, adjustment concerns, and the desire for personal growth.
I began my professional career as an electrical engineer. It makes sense when you consider that engineers and therapists are both engaged in problem-solving professions. I’m particularly interested in helping people walk through the process of change. Change begins, often imperceptibly, the moment a person does anything to make a difference, even making an appointment. My role is helping my clients remove the obstacles that keep change from happening.
