As a Visual Journaler...
In 2015, I was looking for a way to manage the deep grief I experienced after my mom died. I have always been a visual person and began researching ways to combine visual elements with journaling. This creative approach to processing grief has been healing, life-supporting, and life-changing.
Since then, I continued practicing with different themes and mixed media techniques to offer a more expansive approach to coaching and development. I call this approach THE VISUAL JOURNALER. Learn more about The Visual Journaler here.

Client Love
"Coach Terri transformed me from an individual contributor to a true leader. I felt the positive change in me and so do the people that I work with. She was able to guide me through the business situations by asking the most thought-provoking questions and providing me with the space and the time to find the answers within. I felt extremely lucky to have her as my coach in my early career. I am calmer and more collected, and I am well equipped with the right tools to navigate through any tough business situation. I have a much better base and toolset to build upon. As I am discovering more hidden triggers with coach Terri, I felt my potential is unlocked along with it. How lucky I am!"
Ao Tang, Engineering Manager
“Terri is a terrific coach and mentor, and her work as a leader of this course brings a powerful addition to her portfolio. Terri brings her years of experience in organizational development and personal development to creating an experience that is meaningful, impactful, and customized to your very own needs."
Linda H., Physician
“Working with Terri is engaging in honest, open, and meaningful conversations that expand and create a vision of what’s possible. I gave myself a wonderful gift when we started our mastermind, she’s a living proof of the power of women joining together in intentional conversations, supporting each others' goals, and expecting the best of one another."
Olimpia Mesa, Founder Books to Courses
"Terri is a delight to work with, a great facilitator and coach. She is professional, gives expert advice and support in a friendly and empowering way. I joined a Women's Connected Programme and it was an amazing 6 months journey of self-discovery, sharing with and learning from other women. Thank you Terri for using your passion to help women to develop and empower them to thrive in the workplace."
Gbemi Akojenu, Finance Manager
“I'm so honored to have met Terri! It warms my heart to see how much she cares about people. She has inspired me to go after my dream. She has given me the tools to conquer it, and I can't thank her enough!!! Since her class I have decided to live a life with no regrets! I want to live free, bold and sometimes daring."
Angela H., Author
"I sought out this program at a point in my life where I realized I needed to make a significant change of direction in my life and career. It was time to learn to contribute back to the greater good from my heart, not my head. Terri taught me to look deeply inside myself for the answers, and to trust who I am in my reinvention. Her valuable knowledge, training as a coach, but most of all, her compassion and personal authenticity made this an enriching process of personal growth for me, and allowed me to unhook from so many fears and insecurities that I had been carrying for too long!"
Connie O., Professor
"All I can say is wow! Terri has a gift for helping women discover their inner power through a fun and creative mechanism of exploration. It is evident from the moment you step into her workshop that you are in expert hands! Terri is a compassionate instructor and coach that cares about each individual attendee and strives to guide them towards their own respective stories of empowerment that fuels them for the continued journey ahead. If you have been contemplating Terri’s programs, then contemplate no more – sign up today and prepare to be profoundly impacted!"
Jada Black, UCLA Anderson School of Management
"Within minutes of engaging with Terri, I knew she would be a great personal advocate while pushing me to advance my leadership skills and career objectives. Terri has a great capacity to understand what is required to motivate and guide you in the moment, while coaxing you to expand your own voice. She can tap into a wide range of techniques, some honed over years of experience in corporate settings, and some acquired from her own experiences."
Sandy S., Technology Manager
"Terri is a premier trainer, facilitator, coach, and designer. One of Terri’s greatest strengths is her ability to truly listen and adapt "in the moment" to ensure superlative quality. I have known Terri for over fifteen years. She is always growing professionally and personally. She is “the gold standard’ in coaching and learning."
Holly Church, CEO Holly Church Communications
"Terri is an incredibly skilled and insightful coach. She equipped me with the tools and insight, while providing the right amount of guidance for me to discover my intrinsic motivation. We then mapped out my career trajectory based on those motivators. I learned a lot about myself, navigating difficult professional situations, and capitalizing on my own strengths. One of the most fruitful things we worked on was analyzing and strengthening positive characteristics I measured low on, which I wasn't even aware of prior to coaching. I highly recommend Terri to any professional woman looking to grow in her career, gain more insight into what drives you, and/or to navigate challenging professional situations."
Amanda Sussex, VP, Payer Strategy @ Tia
"Terri balances intuition, strategy, compassion, and accountability. Her coaching accelerated my professional and personal growth, and resulted in a promotion and a new job opportunity that I don't think I would have been qualified for prior to our work together. A year later, I still use the frameworks, tips and best practices she shared and have imparted many to my own team. Thank you!"
Karen Martell, VP and General Manager at Alto Pharmacy
"Terri is the reason I am now enjoying a successful career in the Organizational Development field. I worked with Terri at Morgan Stanley. Terri was my mentor as I transitioned into a Training Specialist role. She taught me the facilitation skills I use to this day. I would not be where I am today without her guidance and her gentle way of challenging me to push myself to accomplish milestones I didn't even know I could reach. I would highly recommend Terri without any hesitation."
Sandra Cirone, Oracle Cloud HCM Implementation - Learn Lead at Texas Children's Hospital
"Terri is a true partner/coach to her clients; providing a customized approach to each individual using her extensive tool set from 20 plus years of professional experience. She works effectively with executives at all levels, is able to convey “hard to hear” information and her insight and empathy enables her to identify targeted actions that get results. Coaching is also her passion and her comittment to other's success creates trust even in the "tough" situations."
Cynthia Anderson, Management Science for the 21st Century
"Terri has many talents. She is brave. She is not afraid to push limits and challenge even the highest level executive. Terri is insightful. She is able to listen and observe her clients and understand what is really going on and what is really needed. Terri is patient, a virtue that is invaluable while helping her client get to their “aha moment”. Terri is open, to ideas, new paths, criticism. She is holistic and ethical. She has passion for people. Terri values relationships. Terri is an outstanding professional, an exceptional coach, an effective performance consultant, with teams and individuals at all levels. I trust Terri to get results."
Gail Pappas, Training Manager at Domo, Inc.
"Terri provided me with excellent corporate coaching help and advice. Although I was at first dubious as to what assistance a corporate coach could offer, I was very quickly won over by her superlative wisdom, insight, and very practical suggestions that were incredibly helpful and useful to me in my role in the corporate world. Her help was so valuable that when I left my position, I hired Terri to help me with personal transition goals and focus. I am a a fan of hers for life now and highly recommend her."
