ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Teresa (uh, yeah).

I’m a mom of two teens, the one-time wife of a First Responder (20yrs) and an Integrative Life Coach*.

While I’m also a believer that none of us can really be reduced to a pithy one-liner that captures ALL that we are or have to offer, I can share with you a quick list of bits that will give you a better idea of what I’m about and where I come from -

I am also;

• Intimately familiar with how relationship stress can lead to survival mode and loss of self

• One who has lived with an alcoholic and abusive spouse

• An author of Safety Plans

• A recovering codependent (life-long journey)

• An experienced co-parent with relatively newly constructed healthy, FIRM boundaries - vital AND inherently challenging when dealing with a narcissism (with a hint of BP)-leaning Ex

• A former HOPE program, TIC (trauma-informed care) trained peer counselor

• A certified Integrative Change Worker (by the Ethical Coaching Collective) and 

• An IACT certified Integrative Life Coach - self-induced hypnosis/visualization/neuroplasticity magic 

  AND 

I am an unstoppable advocate for trauma as a springboard for IMMENSELY POSITIVE CHANGE. 

I also believe strongly that some solid, easy tools and a little organization can go a LOONG way to helping us realize a sense of empowerment when everything around us feels daunting or out of our control. And, most importantly; I am here to make sure NO ONE feels “stuck”, like they have to go through this alone or in a state of overwhelm. No More. We can make LASTING CHANGE happen for you in ONE session.

No joke.

AND, I worked at The GAP in college so if you need to know how to get your buttons lined up, I got you there too. 💛
