Relationship Restoration
DEEPEN TRUST FOR GREATER INTIMACY
Terri began her professional career as an early childhood educator. In her studies, she was introduced to the attachment theory.
Attachment theory was introduced as an approach to parenting, with a focus on the mother-infant bond. Over time it expanded to include another life-sustaining bond: the romantic one.
Attachment bonds are the lifeblood of relationships and central to our survival. Just as we all depended upon maternal care for our survival and development, adult partners similarly depend upon one another. This is why romantic partners must feel certain, safe and protected by their partner and within the relationship.
Terri works with individuals and couples to unpack and remove intimacy barriers so that the relationship functions as the protective safeguard it is meant to be.
