Hi! My name is Terri, and I’m honored to be a therapist at Improving Lives. I believe that every healing journey is unique, and taking the first step toward therapy is a brave and meaningful choice. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported and empowered to work toward the goals you hope to achieve. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and am a Licensed Master Social Worker under supervision. I have experience working as a case manager, police social worker, and coach for survivors of sexual trauma, which has given me insight into crisis, resilience, and the many ways trauma affects individuals differently. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor my methods to meet each client’s unique needs, focusing on what will help them most in their healing process. My own life experiences have deepened my compassion and shaped the way I approach therapy with empathy and understanding for clients navigating difficult life circumstances. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and making meaningful memories together. I believe everyone deserves to feel their best, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you explore growth, healing, and hope.
