A note from Teresa

Are you searching for a therapist that values compassion, empathy and collaboration? Perhaps you are looking for meaningful insights during a challenging time. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families encountering a variety of circumstances. I approach therapy by exploring narratives and possibilities of change with curiosity and compassion. Creating supportive relationships and nourishing communities are foundational in sustaining holistic wellness and health. I invite your voices to be heard while also honoring your abilities, knowledge, and skills. I believe therapy offers guidance and learning possibilities, not directive answers. I hold space for creating nonjudgmental healing experiences. You are the expert regarding your life and I’m here to support your unique process of generative growth.

Growing up with an immigrant background, I want to also acknowledge my position as a first-generation American woman with privileges and opportunities that have not historically been allotted equally. I advocate for access and equality. I support anti-racism, immigrant rights, socioeconomic justice, women’s rights, the LGBTQA* community and other marginalized communities.

I completed my undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of California San Diego, and received a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University. I have experience in fields of Hospitality, Behavioral Therapy, Education, and Marriage and Family Therapy.

I appreciate the time you have invested in reviewing my bio and look forward to consulting with you.
