Hi! I’m Teri.

I love making meaning of love and relationships and sharing it with you.

I love to learn, nerd out, dance in my kitchen, sing in my shower, hang out with my hunky hubby and occasionally stare into the void as it stares back in to me (a little Nietzsche in the morning really helps with the existential dread).

I tend to take life REALLY seriously, so I need a good bit of joy and levity to inspire me and keep me balanced. This is where I’ll share it with you.

Welcome. And as Samuel L. Jackson said in Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts!”

About me…

I’m a practicing therapist and PhD, trainer in Emotionally Focused Therapy - a therapy model all about secure bonding in relationships and with yourself, and co-owner of Come Together - A Relationship Coaching and Lifestyle brand where True Love is a Lifestyle™.

I’m married to Chris, the guy my parents carpooled me to preschool with (that’s an actual true story!), and we’ve got two teen kids that I can make laugh sometimes, mainly at me.

This part is true, even though I don’t even believe it sometimes. I’m a former propulsion analyst (re: rocket scientist!) who always wonders if I’m smart enough. I’m a GenX latchkey kid so I can survive on Pop-Tarts, microwaved cheese, and drink out of garden hoses. But I’d still die immediately in a Zombie Apocalypse. There are many reasons why…

Books, TV and movies, comedy, and nature are my favorite pastimes, along with thinking deep and annoying my friends with random quotes and memes.

That’s me in a nutshell. “Oh look, I’m trapped in a tiny nutshell!” Anyone??

“Everyone makes sense in the context of their story.”
