Hi, my name is Teresa

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. My approach is relational, humanistic and transformative.

“I dedicate my life to the people who need the light”

Nahko

Let’s start with my professional background

My professional journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in…

  • Emotional Focused Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behavior therapy

  • Complemented by years of astrology knowledge.

Clients who see me often struggle with embracing their life purpose, addiction, codependent family patterns, communication in relationships, people pleasing, and life transitions just to name a few.

I received my masters in Mental Health Counseling from the CACREP-accredited counseling program at Walden University and my undergrad in Psychology and Journalism at Michigan State University. Over 4 years of working with substance abuse, eating recovery and family systems.

I’m currently under the supervision of H. Luis Vargas, MFT. PhD, AAMFT Approved Supervisor

How I became a therapist & an astrologer…

I remember being at a house party when I was 16 and of course I was snooping in the parents library, this is where I stumbled upon an astrology book that left me there for hours reaffirming the confusing questions of my eager teenager mind, yes not even pink-panty droppers pulled me away that night.

Over the next 2 years I had 3 people pass away, then 3 more family members 2 years later, one of them being my biological father! I was a confused and felt “Why me?!”

I remember having a conversation with my Aunt Georgia (scorpio sun, cap moon, virgo rising) and she blew my mind with how my chart (packed 12th house) would bring deep relationships with people on the other side, and how as an Aquarius I would always feel “different or not like everyone else”. Astrology empowered me to transform my pain into purpose and I hope it can bring you the same clarity.

In 2020, I wanted to provide a deeper therapeutic support for my clients so I completed 4 years of Masters school work from Walden University and 3 years of working in substance abuse, eating recovery and family systems.

I support my clients in breaking out of stuck belief patterns and tailor a unique therapeutic approach to each that feels friendly and growth oriented.

I have clients that prefer just therapy and I have clients that adore astrology and then I have clients that enjoy both! The option is yours. This is your time. Your safe space and we get to explore your world in our relationship container.

I was always the hyper “you’re too much!” kid which can really make you ask for less than you deserve as an adult. Everything needed to be rewired . I was the one in charge of giving myself the LOVE, PATIENCE and ACCEPTANCE that I didn’t think I had the time for.

In my experience of self-discovery Ive learned that the Lows are just as WORTH it as the highs. I have sat with plant medicine that further aided in forgiveness and my truth. And then I finally reached my ah-ha moment (loved my Saturn-Return btw it can be a fabulous thing!) because it encouraged me to start providing astrology readings for others and take ownership of myself.

I knew that this is my purpose, Therapy saved me , astrology saved me and honest human connection saved me. If you have any curiosities , you came to the right spot.
