A rare combination, by design.

M ost coaches have no clinical training. Most therapists do not coach. Theresa is licensed and board certified in both, so the work can adjust to what the moment actually calls for.

Clinical experience slows down when the ground needs steadying. Coaching structure leans forward when a client is ready to move. One practice. One person holding both.

01

Clinical depth

Years of licensed practice with anxiety, stress, transitions, and the quiet weight that high-functioning people carry without telling anyone.

02

Coach structure

A goal-forward cadence for people who already have the self-awareness and want traction. Accountability without the performance of therapy.

03

One practitioner

You are not being handed between specialists. The same person who helps you make sense of today is the one who helps you build what comes next.

Editorial | 03 | Honest fit

Who this is, and is not, for.

Being honest about fit is part of the work. A few guidelines so you can decide with less friction.

A good fit

  • High-functioning adults who carry a lot, quietly

  • Professionals navigating a career pivot or new stage

  • Athletes working on the psychology of performance

  • People who have tried therapy and want more forward motion

Not a fit

  • Active crisis or safety concerns requiring urgent or higher level care

  • Court-ordered or custody-related evaluations

  • Medication management without a collaborating prescriber

  • Clients looking for a practitioner who will tell them what to do

On the practice

“I want clients to find their true passion, their true purpose, and then actually move toward it. Insight is the beginning. Action is the rest of the work.”
