If you are a high-achieving professional, executive, or educator, you already know how to get things done. You have the discipline and the drive. But when it comes to breaking stubborn patterns—like chronic exhaustion, procrastination, or feeling disconnected from your purpose—traditional "quick fix" strategies and sheer willpower fall short.
As a developmental psychologist and life coach based in Columbus, Ohio, I help clients get to the root of what is holding them back. If you are looking for coaching that offers true substance and soul, you are in the right place.
An Evidence-Backed, Soulful Approach to Change
My 1:1 coaching practice bridges rigorous, science-backed methodology with deep, intuitive wisdom. I draw on advanced adult developmental psychology, including STAGES International frameworks, to help you develop your metaware capacities. This means we don't just tackle the symptoms of your stress; we expand the lens through which you view your entire life, allowing you to operate with profound clarity and self-awareness.
In our work together, we move beyond the limitations of the "achiever" mindset:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Integration: Instead of fighting your inner critic or the part of you that feels overwhelmed, we use an IFS-informed approach. We map your internal world so you can lead your parts with compassion, stop self-sabotaging, and start healing.
Somatic and Whole-Body Wisdom: Change must be embodied. We incorporate somatic practices to help you process the stress held in your nervous system. This is vital for leaders and caregivers who are exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else.
A Path of the Heart: This is not clinical therapy; it is a growth-focused, process-oriented journey. Together, we create a space to ask the deep questions, integrate your life experiences, and seek genuine wisdom without rigid dogma.
Expertise You Can Trust
With a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Sciences, and a background serving as a tenured professor, department chair, and organizational leader, I bring decades of experience in navigating complex human growth. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, seeking better relationships, or simply wanting to feel whole again, I provide the container for your ongoing evolution.
Ready to begin? While my practice is based in Columbus, Ohio, I work with clients globally. Let’s uncover the practical, soulful pathways to the life you actually want to be living.
I don't do high-pressure sales calls. This is simply a space to meet, discuss the dynamics you are navigating, and see if my approach is the right fit for your nervous system. If we aren't a match, I will gladly point you toward other resources.
