Let's Talk

One-on-One Coaching

Most relationship coaching gives you strategies, love languages, or a better way to talk to him. Those things may help, but they're not the real problem. The most important question is what you're going to do with your life, how you want to live, show up, and be remembered. That's what we work on, regardless of what happens with the relationship.

We're going to look honestly at what you want, what you have been tolerating, what you have been giving up to keep the peace, and why it's so hard to change.

This work is about helping you come back to yourself, tell the truth, and stop abandoning your own needs in the name of love.

This is for women who are tired of carrying the relationship alone. You've read the books, had the conversations, and made the adjustments, and you're still circling the same problems. If that's you, the work isn't about trying harder. It's about finally including yourself in the equation.

What clients say

What the work actually feels like.

Working with Doug helped me get out of stuck patterns and see long-standing problems in a completely new way. His calm, grounded presence made it easy to relax, reflect, and be honest, and our conversations often led to real breakthrough moments. Doug brings warmth, directness, and creativity in a way that genuinely makes a difference.
Caryl Taylor
Before working with Doug, I thought the problem was my relationship with my boyfriend. What I discovered was that there were really two relationships that needed healing: the one with him, and the one with myself. As I changed the way I related to myself, my relationship with my boyfriend began to change too. Doug helped me see this with clarity and compassion, and that shift changed everything.
Mary L., Denver
After working with Doug, I feel less stressed, more present, and more grounded in my own needs. After years of people-pleasing, I've learned to say no, make room for myself, and feel happier overall.

Common questions

Before you decide.

Is this therapy?

No. Therapy is often about understanding and healing the past. Coaching is about changing what's happening now, what you want, and what you're going to do about it. If you're already in therapy, coaching works well alongside it. A lot of the women I work with are doing both.

What happens in a session?

I do a lot of listening so you can process what you're really thinking and feeling. From there we work on getting clear about what you actually want and how to take care of yourself given what's going on in your relationship. Not what you should want or what makes sense to anyone else, but what you actually want. If we're in the middle of something important when the 90 minutes is up, we keep going. I'm not watching the clock when real work is happening.

How do I know if I'm ready for coaching?

You don't have to have it all figured out before we talk. If you're stuck, unhappy, and tired of going in circles with the same thoughts and the same conversations, that's enough. The discovery call is exactly where we figure out whether you're ready and whether this is the right fit.

Do I have to be thinking about leaving my relationship?

No. A lot of the women I work with aren't sure what they want to do yet. Some stay, some leave, and some just need to find themselves again in the middle of a hard situation. My job isn't to push you toward a decision. It's to help you get clear enough to make one you can actually stand behind.

How long does this take?

It depends on what you're dealing with and how deep you want to go. If you're not ready to commit, single sessions let you work at your own pace with no obligation. If you want sustained work, the three-month program gives us twelve weekly sessions, enough time to get into something real and stay with it until it shifts. Some women do a single session first to see how it feels, then move into the program. There's no pressure to commit to more than you're ready for.

What if I'm not sure coaching will help me?

That's what the free 30-minute discovery call is for. We talk about what's going on, you get a feel for how I work, and we both decide if it makes sense to move forward. No pressure and no pitch.

Is everything we talk about confidential?

Yes. What you share in our sessions stays between us. A lot of the women I work with are dealing with things they haven't told anyone else, and that's exactly why confidentiality matters here.

If you're currently dealing with active abuse or a mental health crisis, coaching isn't the right first step. Please reach out to a licensed professional or crisis support first.
