Transform Struggle into Success with Roseville Therapy

If it’s keeping you up at night, it’s time to talk it through.

Decision and strategy coaching is for confronting critical crossroads and making a specific, pivotal choice. You will find clarity on complex conundrums such as:

The Quitting Decision: Knowing when to hold 'em or fold 'em on a major commitment - be it a job, a company or a creative project. This includes the (often) underrated decision to "hold" by committing fully and quitting the incessant internal debate until a game-changer forces your hand.
The “Will It Fly?” Test: Identifying the single biggest hurdle you must tackle first to see if your idea is truly viable, before you invest everything.
Strategic Growth & Contraction: Making the tough calls on scaling, whether it’s hiring key people, laying off a team member, or restructuring for the next phase..
The Funding Maze: Deciding the right path for your capital needs, whether to bootstrap, pursue a friends-and-family round, or raise venture capital.
The Pivotal Pivot: Making the high-stakes choice to pivot your company's core focus, product, or target market when the current path is no longer viable.
The Leadership Leap: Crafting a precise plan to secure that next-level promotion, board seat or leadership role.
Partnership Crossroads: Steering through the complex and often emotional dynamics of working with a co-founder or key collaborator ( learn more about co-founder coaching here).
The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Evaluating if you're demonstrating true grit or just throwing good money (and time) after bad on a project that has lost its potential.

Common Concerns Strategic Coaching Helps With

Many leaders feel overwhelmed with fog, fatigue, and too many tabs open

That overwhelm often comes from a single source: a critical decision or problem you’re stuck circling. The stakes feel too high to move fast, yet too urgent to stay frozen. The context is so complex that your head hurts just thinking about it.

It’s isolating when you can’t workshop the problem with your team, and even your smartest friends don’t quite get it. No one ever told you that being the boss often means being alone.
While the weight of getting it right rests entirely on you, making you question the very judgment that brought you this far, you most likely already have all the data to find the truth.

This moment feels like a dead end, but it’s actually a secret doorway.

How Coaching Works

Coaching with a clinical edge: deep insight meets decisive action.

I bring the nuanced perspective of a licensed therapist to the task of moving through a specific, high-impact decision or reaching a specific goal. Over the course of 6-24 weeks, we will sift through it all: the data, the context, the pressure and the story you’ve been telling yourself.

You will find that the external pressures, your own biases, and the fear of getting it wrong is mostly noise. With clinical precision and strategic thinking, I will help you build a clear, actionable plan that propels you forward.

Common Concerns Strategic Coaching Helps With

Become Unstuck. Unburdened. Unstoppable

Our goal is for you to walk away with a decision that you can stand behind, no matter the final outcome. This confidence doesn’t come from having a crystal ball, but from knowing you used a rigorous, honest process. You confronted the internal and external complexities, and then made the best possible call with the information you had. That takes real courage.

“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”
-Babe Ruth

My clients often say I have a knack for cutting through the noise to the heart of a complex problem

My coaching approach draws from a unique blend of sources: my extensive clinical and coaching experience, the principles of behavioral economics, and the real-world lessons I’ve learned as a business owner, musician, and angel investor. I’ve learned that most “stuck” moments are personal, emotional and frequently wrought with cognitive biases even for the most capable leaders. That is why we must go beyond a clever pro/con list.

Often it’s really not about the best decision on paper but the one that reflects your values and needs at this particular moment. My role is to challenge you to think about your thinking in a new and productive way. With my clinical edge, I can help identify unconscious fears, hidden beliefs, or relational patterns that other coaches often miss —-the very things that are sabotaging your strategy.

As a client put it: “It’s such a relief, every time I talk to you, I feel that the fog has been lifted.”

Your indecision isn’t the problem. It’s a signal that a powerful choice is waiting to be made.
