Supporting people, leaders, organizations, and communities.
Whether you are leading an organization through change, navigating a personal transition, seeking greater alignment in your life and work, or building healthier communities, you don’t have to do it alone.
Purpose was created to help individuals, leaders, organizations, and communities move through these moments with intention.
Drawing from more than two decades of leadership experience in nonprofit organizations, public health, community development, coaching, mindfulness, and healing practices, I partner with people and organizations to navigate complexity, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with clarity, purpose, and connection.

About Theresa
For more than twenty years, I have worked alongside individuals, organizations, and communities as they navigate growth, change, and transformation.
My professional journey has included roles in nonprofit leadership, public health, organizational development, consulting, policy and advocacy, facilitation, and community engagement. Along the way, I have led statewide initiatives, developed leaders and teams, managed complex projects, and helped organizations strengthen their impact and navigate change.
At the same time, I have been a lifelong student of mindfulness, personal transformation, and the practices that help us navigate challenge, change, and uncertainty. Much of what I bring to this work comes not only from professional experience, but from my own journey. It has taught me the value of presence, self-awareness, compassion, and the importance of creating space for reflection and meaningful change.
Over the years, I have studied with many teachers, developed a long-standing personal practice, and supported others through these healing-centered approaches. While these experiences may look different from strategic planning, leadership development, or organizational consulting, they are deeply connected. They inform how I listen, how I lead, how I support others, and how I approach change.
Today, these experiences come together through Purpose.
Whether I am supporting an organization through strategic planning, mentoring an emerging leader, facilitating meaningful conversations, or holding space for personal reflection and healing, I bring the same approach: curiosity, authenticity, compassion, and a belief that meaningful change begins with connection.
I believe people already hold much of the wisdom they need. Sometimes we simply need the space, support, and perspective to reconnect with it.
I created Purpose because I believe meaningful change happens when strategy and human connection come together. My hope is to create spaces where people feel supported, challenged, inspired, and empowered to move toward what matters most.
