Teresa’s own journey with the mind-body-spirit connection began during a military deployment to Afghanistan when yoga became a source of balance, strength, and stability. That experience has led her towards a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy from Maryland University of Integrative Health, four years working as a yoga therapist with clients navigating mental, emotional, and physical challenges, and now a George Mason, Master of Social Work path towards clinical licensure.
Teresa is serving adolescents and adults at the Life Enrichment Counseling Center (LECC) under the clinical supervision of Dr. Beverley Boothe, Ph.D., LCSW.
