My passion lies in helping women develop a healthy relationship with food. This means working on the issues that lead to eating disorders, disordered eating, compulsive overeating, binge-eating and 'yo-yo' dieting. These issues may include relationship problems, depression, anxiety, obsessive and compulsive behaviors in other parts of your life, etc. Effective therapy for food-related behaviors also includes training to help you break the destructive and problematic diet-binge cycles, while learning to pay attention to your body's own hunger and fullness signals. Therapy is compassionate, nonjudgemental, and understanding.

My clientele are women from 18-75! At the request of the client, I will be happy to include partner/spouse/family/friends in therapy, when that involvement enhances her success.

My goal is to help clients feel safe and supported to explore areas in their life that need attention. With compassion and understanding, clients learn to address fears, pain, and hurt. With experience and training, I help clients feel more skilled and empowered to create change in their life. Couples, young adults, and personal growth are a few of my specialty areas.

Couples feel more equipped in navigating challenges and conflicts safely, authentically, and successfully. Couples also gain more skills and resources in deepen levels of intimacy, closeness, and connection.

Young adults feel more confident in handling life stressors and difficult situations. Also, young adults learn new skills and ways of relating to create more overall success in their lives, relationships, and personal well-being.

As a licensed psychotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience in North Carolina and Colorado Teri uses an intuitive body-centered approach that combines all her trainings and certifications. The various techniques she brings to her practice are gestalt, somatic breath work, hypnotherapy, psycho-emotional kinesiology (which she founded), meditation and somatic hydrotherapy.

Teri has authored her own newspaper column as well as published magazine articles. She lectures frequently at Metro College and has worked extensively with industries giving seminars on wellness, as well as trainings in communication and conflict resolution in the work environment. Another aspect of her work is facilitating retreats ranging from a four day women's retreat using nature and breath, to one day workshops.

The techniques Teri uses are effective ways to get us out of our heads where we interpret life, and into our bodies where we experience life. It is by being present in our bodies that we can understand and feel our pain, eventually moving out of it and in its place experience who we really are. Teri is adept at creating a safe container in which to have fun, yet do deep transformational work which allows her clients to explore themselves spiritually, discover their potential and understand the relationship between the body and the mind.

A somatic psychotherapist and trainer of actor-singers in New York City since 1982, I still work exclusively with singer's, actors, and those who use their voice professionally in their work. Learning to express yourself authentically, in your God given voice in front of other humans is not always easy- but well worth the time spent. In fact, most people feel that dying would be easier that having to expose oneself in front of an audience.

Unresolved trauma is the source of our panic states that prevent us from being in the state of calm where true emotion is experienced. Our survival muscles, also called the muscles of initiation or emotional muscles, are also the muscles that produce speech and singing. When we are in a state of fight/flight/freeze, we lose access to relaxed elasticity and go into either a hyper or hypo mode.
