More about Tera

- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in Tennessee, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges.
My practice specializes in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, and major life changes.
I focus on empowering individuals through various life stages, from workplace dynamics to pregnancy, childbirth, and midlife transitions. My approach centers on helping clients strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose.
I’m especially drawn to supporting individuals navigating relationship stress, major life transitions, and the emotional demands of caring deeply for others while trying not to lose themselves in the process.
My therapeutic style is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and create meaningful personal growth. I believe each person has unique strengths and the capacity to move through challenges with support, insight, and intention. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies that support your emotional well-being and help you move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
