About Teresa
I’m Here to Help
I was born, and received my formative education, in Texas. After high school, I traveled to New Orleans and enrolled at Loyal University where I received degrees in psychology (B.S.) and counseling (M.A.). I finished my Ph.D. coursework at the University of New Orleans, but was unexpectedly called in a different direction.
I became a nun in the RJM order, Mexico City province. I was a counselor, teacher and missionary for ten years. During this time I learned to be fluent in the Spanish language and culture, and developed a deep spirituality which was centered upon helping others in their journey. These experiences still inform my counseling work today.
On missionary work back in the 90's. Can you find Waldo in the picture?
In the US, I have had the opportunity to be a lead clinician for the U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturalization, a counselor for cancer patients, a school counselor, and a psychologist for the city of Las Vegas. I have also worked with veterans with PTSD through Strong Star, the government-approved CPT program, and am certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol developed by Dr. Stephen Porges.
Today I live in San Antonio with my husband, Mark, and my numerous rescue dogs.
