.....If you're anything like most of my clients, the idea of being where you are right now a year from now probably made you feel a little uneasy. I get it -- I've been there, too.
If it scares you to think about letting another year go by without taking action on the thing you've always wanted to do, then you're in the right place.
I'm here to help you finish the one meaningful thing you don't want to leave undone in life. If you're into being free from regrets, you want to stop carrying the weight of "someday," and you're ready to take meaningful action on the thing that feels important to you, then stick around and let me introduce you to The Behavior Edit.
You've been waiting for life to slow down so you can do the thing that would make your life feel meaningful, but it hasn't happened yet (and you're starting to realize it never will).
You're in a toxic relationship with procrastination and your scrolling habits aren't anything you'd ever want anyone else to see.
Your days feel like a blur of responsibilities, overthinking, and trying to get it together, only to end each night wondering where your time, energy, and potential went.
You start new habits, but you lose consistency and end up slipping into old patterns that make you feel frustrated with yourself.
You've been personally victimized by all-or-nothing thinking, analysis paralysis, maladaptive perfectionism, and chronic overthinking.
You’re self-aware, intelligent, and emotionally intuitive… but that hasn’t been enough to get you unstuck.
The good news? You’re in the right place -- Transforming messy, overwhelming, and complicated life challenges into clear, purposeful, and actionable steps is kind of my thing.
And I use that superpower to help people change their habits, routines, and behaviors so they can focus on what really matters before they run out of time.
If that's you, then you’re exactly who The Behavior Edit is for.
Most of my clients show up here when they get tired of carrying the weight of an unfinished project and the grief of an unrealized dream. Some of them feel like they've tried everything to make it happen
Years of therapy that delivers insight, but not action
Courses that promised results but were filled with fluff
Self-help books that could fill a library, but no idea how to integrate what you learned
Free digital downloads that are overly simple and fill your inbox up with spam
Expensive "coaches" who took a weekend course but don't actually know anything about behavior change
I take a different approach. I'm here to help you finish the meaningful thing you’ve been postponing — and prove to yourself that you are not too late, you're not broken, you're not incapable of follow-through, and you deserve to live a life you don't need to escape from.
There's something meaningful you want to do before you die, and it's time to make it happen.
You set big goals and often start new habits, but you struggle to follow through.
You scroll social media wayyyy more than you'd like to admit and you're getting tired of all the noise.
You need some support turning your inner potential into a daily reality.
You've got a history of outsourcing your intuition to experts and you want to learn how to finally trust yourself.
You love structure and systems but you struggle to create them for yourself.
You feel like you're meant for something more, but you just can't seem to get there.
You've put off the thing you want to do in life for long enough, and you're ready to take action.
You're looking for generic mindset pep talks, surface-level motivation, and high-energy hype.
You want a rigid one-size-fits-all routine to follow and you like being told exactly what to do.
You're looking for corporate-obsessed efficiency and productivity coaching.
You're not ready to commit to the process of making the change you want to make.
You're fine with your life the way it is and you don't really want to make a change.
You're not introspective, self-aware, and have never worked on yourself before.
You don't have a vision, a goal, or an outcome in mind that you want to work on.
Together, we'll use my coaching framework, EDIT, to reframe the journey from panic about running out of time to gaining confidence about yourself and your skills in the process. Most people think they need a big transformation or a perfect plan, but that’s actually usually what keeps people stuck. Instead, we treat your life like something that's editable. Here's what we'll do together:
What we'll do together:
We'll get curious about what might work well for you and set up small, simple, and safe behavior experiments, instead of making all or nothing moves.
What you'll walk away with:
Clarity around why you've been stuck for so long and what you need to do to move forward (without the self-blame).
How you'll feel once we've done this:
Relieved -- Like you understand yourself and know how to turn your insights into action that you can take right away.
What we'll do together:
Design intentional systems that create momentum, get you into action mode, and help you move forward without relying on willpower or motivation.
What you'll walk away with:
Extremely clear and tangible steps, designed to build momentum, scheduled into your week, and summarized for you at the end of each session.
How you'll feel once we've done this:
Energized -- Like you finally have a real plan and you can see all the steps forward to doing the thing you've always dreamed of doing.
What we'll do together:
Put the systems and we've designed into practice. We implement your plan in the real world, where life is messy and imperfect, so you can figure out what's working, what's not working, and what you need to adjust.
What you'll walk away with:
A full understanding of exactly how to implement your action steps and real-time awareness for how to re-evaluate whether it's working.
How you'll feel once we've done this:
Confident — Like you can trust yourself to stay aligned, even when life gets messy.
What we'll do together:
Build up your sense of self-trust and your belief in yourself. By proving to yourself that you know how to adjust when things don't go as planned, you'll learn to stop panicking about making mistakes and stop using procrastination as a coping strategy.
What you'll walk away with:
A genuine and grounded belief that you're capable of taking on the next challenge. Trust in your own ability to use the EDIT framework in the future.
How you'll feel once we've done this:
Capable -- You'll know that you can course-correct after anything life throws at you.
The Behavior Edit is a powerful roadmap for taking action on the meaningful thing you don't want to leave undone and making your life feel editable again. It’s not a firm curriculum. Here, we try things, design better responses, implement them in real life, and rebuild trust in your ability to course-correct.
Because the goal isn’t to get it right the first time -- The goal is to become someone who knows how to revise so that you don't get stuck in a story that leaves the one meaningful thing you want to do in life undone.
This is a flexible and personalized framework that evolves with your life. I'm not here to force you through steps - I'm here to help you come up with a plan that actually works for you.
I’m a board-certified health and wellness coach with 14 years of experience in:
Behavior change science
Learning and development
Teaching coaching skills
Design thinking
Project management
Consulting with CEOs and executive teams
Process and outcomes based coaching
I’ve spent the last decade studying how humans change, how habits truly stick, how identity evolves, and how people can ditch self-limiting beliefs and finally make their dreams a reality.
I’ve helped CEOs build project plans that scaled their businesses, hyped up 20-somethings take on huge opportunities, supported retirees in hitting milestones they thought were “too late” to ever achieve, walked alongside burned out parents who ended up hitting their goals 3 months earlier than planned, and so much more.
I’ve invested tens of thousands of hours in becoming exceptional at helping people do the things that give their lives meaning and build lives they don’t need to escape from through the power of coaching.
The depth of that experience allows me to tailor every layer of the framework to your specific story.
