Hi, I'm Terry! I help adults, parents, and teens find space to work through trauma, anxiety, OCD and life transitions.

Addictions Counselor in Hermosa Beach, CA

About My Clients

If you’ve always felt things deeply, questioned yourself, or found yourself repeating patterns you wish you could break, you’re not alone. Whether you’re healing from childhood wounds, navigating anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, relationship struggles, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

My Background and Approach

My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual because no two stories are the same. I believe therapy is most meaningful when you feel genuinely understood while also being supported to grow. Together, we’ll explore the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped you, identify the strengths you already possess, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. Depending upon your needs, I integrate approaches such as, ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention - for OCD), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing - for trauma), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), attachment-focused therapy, expressive arts, and mindfulness to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re working through anxiety, OCD, trauma, chronic illness, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and confidence that extends beyond the therapy room.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Our struggles do not define us, and many of the ways we cope today were once creative ways of surviving difficult experiences. Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with me?” I believe it’s more helpful to understand what you’ve been through and how those experiences have shaped you. I value authenticity, collaboration, and self-compassion, and I believe lasting change comes from recognizing your strengths while gently challenging the patterns that no longer serve you. My hope is that therapy helps you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in advocating for your needs, and more empowered to create a life that reflects your values.
