Hi, I’m Teresa, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Integra Mental Health.

Here are a few things that inform how I practice:

  • You'll never have to perform or pretend with me—I see the exhaustion behind the mask, the courage it takes to show up, and I hold space for all of it. My office is where you can finally let your shoulders drop and breathe.

  • Having spent years with folks who've been dismissed, misunderstood, or hurt by the medical system, I know that trust is sacred and earned slowly.

    • I'll never rush you, never judge your pace, and I'll celebrate every small step forward with you.

  • Your body keeps the score, and I listen to all of it—the panic attacks, the sleepless nights, the way trauma lives in your chest.

    • We'll work together to help your nervous system find safety again, honoring how sleep, nutrition, and gentle movement can be medicine too

  • I believe you are the expert on your own experience—I'm here to offer tools, medications when helpful, and evidence-based support, but you get to decide what feels right.

    • This is your healing journey, and I'm honored to be a part of it.

Where I’ll do my best work with you:

  • Perinatal and perimenopausal mental health support, including peripartum mood disorders, PMDD, and the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and reproductive health

  • Young adults who are trans and gender-diverse —I see you, I celebrate you, and I can empathize with the particular weight of navigating identity while managing mental health. You deserve care that affirms every part of who you are.

  • During the tender, overwhelming seasons of pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause—when your body and mind feel like strangers. I've been there myself, AND have walked with countless people through these transitions and know how isolating they can feel

  • When you're carrying heavy things—complex trauma, anxiety that feels too big for your body, depression that makes everything feel impossible, or ADHD that makes you feel like you're failing at life

  • Women and AFAB nonbinary or trans folks in midlife who are tired of being gaslit about their bodies…..

    • When you're told your crushing fatigue, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm are "just stress" or "normal aging." I know that it’s really the hormonal changes turning your mental health upside down.

    • I'm here to help you navigate both hormone replacement therapy and psychiatric support so you can feel like yourself again

  • I’m a queer mom of 4 kids, and we’re down to just the 4 pets now.

    I grew up on the west coast, lived off the grid for a while, and spent summers in Alaska as a kid.

    I love people. I love being with people in their best and worst moments, and feeling part of your story.
