Why I Specialize in Christian Counseling for Women

As a Christian therapist, I’ve personally wrestled with faith, identity, and what it means to be a “good” woman of faith.

Many of my clients grew up believing they had to be perfect, 
self-sacrificing, or silent to be acceptable — and that message
often leads to anxiety, shame, and emotional exhaustion.

My approach is rooted in grace, safety, and evidence-based therapy.

I believe healing happens when you experience acceptance —
not pressure — and when faith becomes a source of hope, not fear.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Will we pray during sessions?

Prayer is available upon request. Some clients enjoy prayer during sessions, while others prefer to keep therapy and personal prayer separate.

You always decide how faith shows up.

What’s your faith background?

I’m a Christian therapist who has personally wrestled with faith and
perfectionism. I work from a grace-based perspective and help clients
unlearn harmful messages that contradict God’s love.

Do I need to be a Christian to work with you?

Not at all. I welcome clients of all backgrounds.
Faith is discussed only as much or as little as you want.

How do you integrate faith into therapy?

I integrate faith gently and respectfully alongside evidence-based
approaches like EMDR, CBT, and IFS. This may include exploring beliefs,
healing religious hurt, or aligning emotional health with grace-centered faith.

Is online therapy effective?

Yes. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person
for anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns.

How long are sessions?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes via secure video.

What to Expect in Your First Session

A Therapist Who Understands Faith and Healing

Hi, I’m Teresa — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Christian therapist
who specializes in helping women heal from anxiety, trauma, and the
pressure to be “perfect.”

I work with women who love God but feel overwhelmed, stuck,
or disconnected — often because they’ve learned to ignore their own
needs in the name of faith, family, or responsibility.

My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a grace-centered,
non-judgmental understanding of faith. You don’t need to have the
right words, strong faith, or everything figured out — just a willingness
to begin.

Previous Client
Teresa is a kind, compassionate therapist who cares about those she works with! Her genuine, non-judgemental personality mixed with her skills and training make her an excellent therapist.
Previous Client
I wanted to share my gratitude with you as recently I’ve been referring back to all my notes I’ve taken throughout our visits together over the years and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all the tools you’ve supplied me in my toolbox. Thank you – endlessly. 
Previous Client
I’ve been thinking a lot about our work together, and I just wanted to say again how deeply I appreciate the space you held for me during such a difficult time.
Previous Client
I’ve thought often about the work we did together and how foundational it’s been. You helped me begin to see things clearly for the first time and gave me the language and space to name the grief, confusion, and patterns I had long been carrying. I’m incredibly grateful for that.
Previous Client
I’ve had a lot of therapists, and I feel like they were a 1 on a scale of 1 to 100. I felt like the leader. I thought the more I talked, they would find out what I needed.  But it never happened.
Everything in your website was exactly what I was looking for.
Everything in your practice is set up in such a gentle way.
From the first moment we spoke, I felt safe, and I didn’t even know that’s what I needed. It was so normal for me to be paranoid.
You connected right with my core need, which was safety.
Previous Client
